[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
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
[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
