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 we'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
5000 feet from the ground
How long will it take us to hit
How fast will we start the disintegration
Don't die now, just keep moving
Don't die now, just keep moving
How long will it take us to hit
How fast will 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
And we'll kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together and 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 of your sweetness
I'm not coming home, I'm never coming home
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 we'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
5000 feet from the ground
How long will it take us to hit
How fast will we start the disintegration
Don't die now, just keep moving
Don't die now, just keep moving
How long will it take us to hit
How fast will 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
And we'll kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together and 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 of your sweetness
I'm not coming home, I'm never coming home

The quotes are prolly off, saw em on the Warped a little while ago. But that's basically what he said, that Haley Joel Osment sucks. Oh, that and they almost died. Amazing song.

"...just a bunch of chaos."
No kidding; 'twas the point.
They sound like every other band and i cant stand that!.
I was at their show, it must have been about 6 hours since they were in the plane. Geoff said how close they were to dying just that morning, but they still played a fucking brilliant show.
