you used to say when i was down there s more to life outside this white trash midwestern town you birthed the spark in my brain said it d be sunny but that night it rained wet shoes as i stepped on the plane found my seat and closed the window shade i fell asleep and then awoke to a shake i overheard like they spoke my name the captain said it ll be a task to make it to lax with a storm like this we ll try our best he said with a nervous grin you could hear the breath you could see the face of a man who d cut the tension if his hands didn t shake he s got a wife two girls and a home on the ground and the most disturbing part is they don t know it s going down the most disturbing part is they don t know it s going down the most disturbing part is they don t know it s going down up in the sky of lights turn on earth of life lowering my eyes to see you telling all lies to be with you but not in the fire and not in the crash they ll weather the storm you say we ll land intact it s when he goes home that it becomes real there s a small part of him that resents the wheels he hates the wings and the bolts that hold them together like promises they never told him he thinks they deserve the same life that he had he wished the fucking engine would ve blown to pieces18
