Lyrics
At This Velocity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were safe, now we're paralyzed
Suspended in flight
At this speed it makes no difference
Where I start or where I end
Or if you're sitting in an emergency aisle
We could be dead, complete the equation
Our names are x and n
We have no value in these calculations
Placed on a plane pointed straight down
Traveling at five hundred feet per second
Five thousand feet from the ground
How long will it take us to hit?
How fast until we start the disintegration?
Don't die now
Just keep moving
Don't stop now
Just keep moving
How fast will it take us to hit?
How long until we start the disintegration?
We could be safe, now, forever
Falling in the clean blue air
Somewhere between the sun that gives us light
And the ground that puts it out
And we kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together
Close our eyes, speak these words so softly to the blackbox
And it goes
"Mother, father can you hear this?
I want to thank you for all your sweetness.
I'm not coming home, never coming home again."
