Accelerate
R.E.M.
Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet - No time to argue with belief I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping - Faster than me - What put me here? Nothing to hold on to - Nowhere to brake -- Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? -- Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? -- No time to question the choices I make -- I've got to fall in another direction Last thing I remember I was climbing up the stairs I threw the window open in challenge and despair I don't know what I needed - I needed time I needed to escape I saw the future turn upside-down and hesitate -- Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? -- Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? -- No time to question the choices I make -- I've got to fall in another direction Accelerate The vista I see now is changing Uncertainty is suffocating Our hope has never felt so great and - Lit up down - A pounding pulse to make it go To make it slow - down - go -- Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? -- Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? -- No time to question the choices I make -- I've got to fall in another direction The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode Accelerate to make it slow - Make it go Accelerate to make it slow - Make it go I'm incomplete - I'm incomplete - I'm incomplete
