Thursday - At This Velocity lyrics

We were safe, now we're paralyzed Suspended in flight At this speed it makes no difference Where I start and where you end Or if you sit in an emergency aisle We could be dead, complete the equation Our names are X and N We have no value in these calculations We're 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 till we start the disintegration? No time left - just keep moving No time left - just keep moving How long will it take us to hit? How fast till we start the disintegration? We could be safe here, forever Falling in the clean blue air Somewhere between the sun that gives us light And the ground that puts it out We'll kneel in the aisle, Press our hands together Close our eyes and speak these words So softly to the black box And it goes: "Mother, father can you hear this? I want to thank you for all the sweetness but I'm not coming home, we're never coming home."
