Engine Room

Filed in the corner Watch our brothers screaming "it's getting colder" Hollering for help It's a better sense Of pipelines and malevolence All of our tanks are crushed up In the loading bay You better be breathing better than ever My lung's choking A hard side-rim of long poles and gold valves Crushing every sense of your hope out In the fall out I scream and am pleading as I'm looking from my window You better believe that I am turning this ship around Cause I can't hear the sound of patience, you're freaking out We will be low on fuel, but I can handle that when it comes around You make it to the hatch, I'm in the belief, that you can leave Connect hand to the pull switch Then send it out Hold your breath You won't die if you make it this way Please, survive the fire, the remains of your engine collided with the back end of mine Come alive, please come alive, please come along I'm closing the door, turn around, pull the lever, help us out, turn around, I beg you now, please Run back! Take cover! I'm asking you all to hide in the Engine Room Don't think Just go! It's the fastest spot to be if everything blows The pilot's dead, so, I promise you I know what I'm doing It's fair to say it all seemed hopeless I said I know what I'm doing A mother ran down the hall after me Her fist was clenched, and I could see that her rage had broke her teeth I told her to go back Then ran out to the front But she pulled out a gun screaming That I'd given up, that my credentials were a pointless representation of the Liar that I really am She might be right But in my defence, there's no time for a reaction On the matter-of-fact situation So, I closed the door It crushed her foot I wanted to stay and help but It'd be better if I didn't I could hear her screaming Threats to my life And I know she meant it She wouldn't mean it, I hope But that's a little to not-the-point I could hear the cries from far beyond the hall Run back! Take cover! I'm asking you all to hide in the Engine Room Don't think Just go! It's the fastest spot to be if everything blows They might be contemplating Why I put them in the most dangerous room tin the ship The engine room would be the first to explode Let alone, the most reactive If there's any chance of escape, they wouldn't have it The void of space would Kill them slowly, even if they took a pod And even if I flew them out to safety They'd come for me They'd take my hands and throw me out the hatch I'd go knowing all of them are ok Either way Run back! Take cover! I'm asking you all to hide in the Engine Room Don't think Just go! It's the fastest spot to be if everything blows
