Stablizers down, let's hit the ground
gasoline and gravity surround us all
the birds part like the sea and we start to fall.
Out of consciousness and height
realize fright won't make you any less likely to die
than anything else.
Cigarette light on all night,
how appropriate and trite,
stars encapsulate the flight
anyone got a light?
The captain's voice on the machine
sounds more like the ending of a Stars record,
than a warning.
Life is not a box of chocolates
life is like an airplane ride
and holding your breath won't make you survive.
The drinks are falling down, crash positions assumed,
there's nothing left,
that we can do.
Under the glow of electric lights
flickering to keep up with their average life
the patrons watched their fellow beings
swiftly drift into the sea.
In a slow motion fury of breathing and sighs
there was peace in the panic
of knowing your going to die.
Die...
Life is not a box of chocolates
life is like an airplane ride
and holding your breath won't make you survive.
The drinks are falling down, crash positions assumed,
there's nothing left,
that we can do.
