Escape Velocity.

[Intro] You were only ever passing through I tried to follow. I am still here. I am still here. [Verse 1] I threw my name in the fire for thrust I threw the stones. I threw the lock I threw the voice I used to prove I lived Please. Please. Just get me off The well doesn’t argue. It only pulls I feel it in the teeth, in the knees, in the prayer I am climbing on what’s left of me And what’s left of me is not enough air [Chorus] I burned everything and still didn’t leave I saw the rim. I almost— I almost— Then the ground stood up inside my chest And dragged me home by the throat I burned everything and still didn’t leave No fuel. No voice. No second life to spend I can taste the outside and I cannot have it Don’t let me fall. Don’t let me— [Verse 2] I counted the speed I needed to break I came up short by a body named me I sold the last kind thing I had for altitude It burned. It helped. It still wasn’t free Don’t call this effort. Call it begging I did the work till the work had a pulse The sky stayed a lid with my fingerprints I am screaming at a ceiling that will not result [Chorus] I burned everything and still didn’t leave I saw the rim. I almost— I almost— Then the ground stood up inside my chest And dragged me home by the throat I burned everything and still didn’t leave No fuel. No voice. No second life to spend I can taste the outside and I cannot have it Don’t let me fall. Don’t let me— [Rap] Burn it now, burn it all, there is nothing left to keep Voice gone, hands gone, still too deep Rim, rim, I can see it, I can see it, don’t you quit Engine dies in my mouth and I swallow it Can’t breathe, can’t clear, can’t lie that I made it I did the math with a body that stayed in Please, please, I spent the man I was Well says mine. I say please. Please. Because— [Breakdown] Don’t stop Don’t stop Engine’s dead I never left I NEVER LEFT [Chorus] I burned everything and still didn’t leave I saw the rim. I almost— I almost— Then the ground stood up inside my chest And dragged me home by the throat I burned everything and still didn’t leave No fuel. No voice. No second life to spend I can taste the outside and I cannot have it Don’t let me fall. Don’t let me— [Outro] I burned everything and still didn’t leave I burned everything and still didn’t leave Please I burned everything and still didn’t leave
