the moment explodes

the engine stops

the plane drops

the moment explodes

a sudden rush

a brute hush

and the moment explodes

the moment explodes

into thoughts of all the things i've left undone

and flashes from a life i've just begun

every friend i ever knew

or thought i did

the love that i could give

the love i hid

every stupid

life-before-your-eyes cliche

could i please go out some less expected way?

but none alive or dying crack those codes

when the moment explodes

the staircase dips

the foot trips

the moment explodes

the dark road curves

the car swerves

and the moment explodes

and the moment explodes

and it reaches to the future and the past

to every moment ever

first to last

and every life i reached

but could not touch

and every life i reached

but could not touch

and everyone i loved

or loved too much

and every chance i took

or did not make

connections that i made

or did not make

but i'll never take those turns to other roads

once the moment

when the moment

when the moment

the engine stops

the plane drops

the moment explodes
