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."
