Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sinking fast, the weights 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 And nowhere to brake [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs I threw the window open, challenging despair I don't know what I need, I needed time, I needed to escape I saw the future turn upside-down and hesitated [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] The vista I see now is changing Uncertainty is suffocating Oh, hope has never felt so grating Lit up dim, and pounding pulse To make it go, make it slow down, go [Chorus] 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 [Outro] The city sputters like it's ready to explode (Accelerate) Accelerate to make it slow, make it go (Accelerate) Accelerate to make it slow, make it go Accelerate I'm incomplete, I'm incomplete I'm incomplete, I'm incomplete
