lyrics

Like an airplane you shot right through the cloud of my heart.
Leaving chemtrails of words I've only just begun to absorb.

You crashed through the atmosphere,
you broke down my barriers,
you made yourself superior and I assumed the role.

Break down!
A message from the cockpit,
Break down!
Save yourself!
Break down!
The stewardess is crying and I think I'd look good in a parachute...
Jump!

Falling, falling.

With the scrutiny of airport security you went through my head,
taking liberty with all of my thoughts until you were well fed.
You rummaged through my memories,
there was scarcely a trace of me,
like you was the one way to be and I assumed the role.
You crashed through the atmosphere,
you broke down my barriers,
you made yourself superior, and I assumed the role.

Break down!
A message from the cockpit
Break down!
Gravity's a gooo!
Break down!
My destinations grounded and I know I look good in a parachute.

Falling, falling.
