[Verse 1]
Get this over with before I change my mind
Light the fuse on this rocket-fueled mistake
Like a ragdoll, I'm hurled against my seat
With so much g-force I can't move to reach the break
[Chorus 1]
Helpless to influence my ship's relentless course
My human frailty complements its brutal force
Listless, but I can't drop
Too weak to work out how to stop
[Verse 2]
A metal brace to hold my head erect
Electric pulses to keep my heart alive
Servo motors that control my arms and legs
And a spirit barely willing to survive
[Chorus 2]
Seemed like a good idea when I first thought of it
What good is a plan if you're unwilling to commit?
Now I'm listless, but I can't drop
I'm too weak to work out how to stop
[Chorus 3]
I'd think of a solution if I weren't so mentally ill
I can't remember where I put my brain-correcting pill
Listless, just barely there
Mouth held slightly open, uncomprehending stare
And I'm listless, but I can't drop
I'm too weak to work out how to stop
