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
