[Verse 1]
Wind passes right through my skin as I fall down
This furious speed will only destroy me
Crippling and devastating momentum, approaching maximum velocity
And this is how it's gonna be, the point of it all
'Cause this is what was meant for me, recklessly, I fall

[Chorus]
Hulking, smashing, I come crashing
Nothing like when I was small
I am unstoppable, I am the cannonball

[Verse 2]
Thirty-two feet per second, I increase
As the exponents will multiply
I'll never stop to look back behind me
Cutting through the bright blue sky
And this is how it's meant to be, untethered, I will soar
I'll barrel towards the earth below, it's what I was made for

[Chorus]
Hulking, smashing, I come crashing
Nothing like when I was small
I am unstoppable, I am the cannonball
The people cower that you knew
That's nothing but an overhaul
I am unstoppable, I am the cannonball
