Can you calculate my fear? When I'm falling through the air Can I really say I'm scared If the pressure feels the same? The sun and moon spin round in a loop but nothing seems to change When I slam into the ground Will the impact make a sound? Is it strange that I can't wait? I want to know if my bones can break If they do will everything fall into place? There's gaps between events I can't remember how and when I felt the start of the decent My guts are trapped and yet I've never felt more free To become to tragedy I just want to end this endless cycle I don't want death, I want revival The mechanisms of survival Are something I can't reconcile Chiding mantras of revile Provide the fuel for every spiral It's clear that I am volatile But I just can't help but deny It's hard to say I'm falling before I have met my end but if there's no one to see me, why would I pretend? I'm hurt before I leave remission I'm weak by my own definition Will somebody listen when I finally hit-- If I never reach the earth was there ever any worth in saying that I fell? I want to say that the end is near But at this point I can't tell If I turns out I was wrong And I was flying all along? How am I supposed to feel? I know I'm safe while I'm in the sky So can I even say this fear is real? (Instrumental break) What if my pain is preemptive? An empty promise unfulfilled? Is it delusional to cry before my blood is spilled To say I'll die from inertia, isn't that a fallacy? Isn't my death the only end that justifies my screams? I want an equation to validate anything about the pain I perceive But how do I measure the tension that lives in a place that I can't reach If I could predict the end of my life, would it justify how I feel? Would that finally confirm that this is terminal velocity? (mid-air synth solo) Please catch me before I die! When I'm falling through the air I think its right to say I'm scared When I don't know what's ahead! I don't want to be a tragedy! Tell me there is hope instead! If I have to hit the ground Could somebody slow me down? So I land on both my feet? I'm tired of falling at a constant speed I'm sick of terminal velocity! Thank you for listening!!
