lyrics

Yo Jason I got you..
Graphic Grim in the building..
Don’t forget your parachute
(laughs)

Far from the best spot to jump
Fuel low, it’s time to get off
Miles of sky beneath
And sky above
Hands of those in line
Give me a shove

I guess I could be thrilled by this descent
But our landing gear’s never been tested
But for now I am one with the sky, ooh
I hope these parachutes open
Before we reach
The ground
Safe and
Sound?

Like awakened from a dream
My mind’s so alive
Sensory overload on the dive
Thirty thousand feet
Go by in a rush
(A rush, a rush, a rush)
But we’re all in the same boat now
But we’re all in the same fall now

For far too long we put landing off
Our heads in the clouds
But now it’s time to make up
This distance through the sky, ooh
Just give one more chance to put my feet on
The ground

C’mon dance with me, girl
We’ll take a break beat
And try to stop the end of the world
C’mon dance with me, girl
Let anybody try to stop us, uh
Hear the lies around us whirl
We’ll take a break-a-beat
And try to stop the end of the world
C’mon dance with me, girl
Through the fire let them try to catch us

Graphic Grim..

Come and dance with me
Act like you got a chance to leave
But we advancing speeds
So fast, might crash at seas
Into a nasty siege
Cause a ghastly scene
Smoke from the engine
Too bad to breathe
Plane's goin' down
It's maddening
People freakin' out that it's actually happening
Screamin' it's gonna be a tragedy
But magically, you're glad to see it’s me
Graphic Grim and Jason Murray
Flew in, in an amazin' flurry
Come on, let's get out this place in a hurry
Cause you need rescue that's absolute
So as you fall to the ground, you pray for your parachute
To open..

Sea levels risin’
Where’s the soul?
Seems like we’re spinnin’ out of control, but
All that I know is it’s a lonely sight..
And the night
Keeps getting darker
And the light
Is getting harder to find
Momentum’s building
Still we’re wasting
Time’s not on our side
Trees and pavement approach
I grab onto the cord
Frayed by generations of our apathy

But with these remaining threads
So many lives have dedicated
I give it one hard pull
Crossroads of a collective fool
But there’s no turning back now,
No turning back now,
No turning back now

I hope these parachutes open
Before we reach
The ground
(panting)
(sigh)
