At This Velocity

Okay, we were safe, now we're paralyzed Suspended in flight At this speed it makes no difference Where I start and where I end Or if you're sitting in an emergency aisle We could be dead, complete the equation Our names are X and N We have no value in these calculations Placed on a plane, pointed straight down Traveling at 500 feet per second 5,000 feet from the ground How long will it take us to hit? How fast 'til 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 'til we start the disintegration? We could be safe here forever Floating 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 aisles Press our hands together, close our eyes 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 your sweetness I'm not coming home, I'm never coming home"
