Emergency

I've been hanging here so long I lost my fear – Of the fall

All the stimulation only has me afraid of – Being bored

Feels like an emergency

That's taking it's time

But you peel away the urgency

The flower petals fall to the ground

When I crossed that road I crossed the wires – Of the world

When our source of hope has turned around – Looking down

The buttons have been pushed to make me go – Just to go

High above a tragedy

Safe in your arms

As I beg you for your sympathy

Release your iron grip and let me fall

I've got everything I need, I couldn't ask for more

I buy the poison and the cure, feed the rich and kill the poor

I had the answer in my hand, emptied it and asked for more

Now my hand is filled with yours, and I can't let go

Feels like an emergency

That's taking it's time

But you peel away the urgency

Walls and cages crash from on

High above a tragedy

Safe in your arms

As I beg you for your sympathy

Release your iron grip and let me fall
