Brace for Impact

Another stint with depression

Another reality TV election

Watch the nuclear family fallout

Gonna poison every house in this town

You get the call from a landline

Somebody finally put their foot on that landmine

Watch a Jersey titan bow out

Take a step toward the front of the line

Now I got one hand on you

Let the other one brace for impact

The life I lose while I'm saving the one I still have

Wish it didn't have to go this way

Everything we love would always stay

A glass break through the window

Dissect the U of A right down the middle

Watching a grown man cry

Sterilize the guilt of being white

The Big Bang in reverse

Lessons we're bound to learn

Stockpile some pain, keep a nice reserve

I wanna hold you, I don't wanna hurt

I got one hand on you

Let the other one brace for impact

The life I lose while I'm saving the one I still have

Wish it didn't have to go this way

Everything we love would always stay

I think I let you down in a way that I'm afraid of

And just around the block's a conversation of where we stand

Who are you holding as the sun explodes?

'Cause we'll be losing light every night

We start a race for the miles between us

And what we've been escaping

From where I stand

Live for the country

The front seat of my soul

I got one hand on you

Let the other one brace for impact

The life I lose while I'm saving the one I still have

Wish it didn't have to go this way

Everything we love would always stay
