Accelerate R.E.M.

[Verse 1]
Sinking fast, the weights chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here? Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake

[Chorus]
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction

[Verse 2]
The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open, challenging despair
I don't know what I need, I needed time, I needed to escape
I saw the future turn upside-down and hesitated

[Chorus]
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction
