Artist: R.E.M.
Song: accelerate
Year: 2008
Sinking fast the weight's 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
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 follow another direction
The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don?t know what I need, I needed time, I needed to escape
I saw the future turn upside down and hesitated
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 follow another direction, accelerate
The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down, a pounding pulse
To make it go, make it slow down, go
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 follow another direction
The city?s burning, it's 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
