Terminal Velocity from Memento Mori by Terrapart

So it wont' feel like falling
Like falling

They say that this life is like a free fall
The more you fight it, the faster you drop
I'll close my eyes and feel the rushing wind
So it won't feel like falling

So you get messed up from staring straight down
I'll be right here now, I'm bathed in sunlight
I'll spread my arms to slow the rushing wind
'Til it starts to feel like flying

More than bark, feel the bite
But know you'll be alright
Not without, but within
That's how you lift your chin
Before he ran he would crawl
And even then he would fall
Never stopped 'cause he failed
He's coming off the rails

What's a life without risk?
An unrequited tryst?
When it's all said and done
He never tried to run
Until he stopped, open hands
And turned to greet the sands
'Cause he knew in the end
It's an eternal trend

From the dark to the light
She's picking up the fight
To reclaim what she's lost
To love at any cost
She's filling up empty souls
She's stoking every coal
She's breaking out of the red
Remember what she said

What's a life lived alone?
A narcissistic throne?
She never lives for herself
She's always bottom shelf
'Cause she feels to the bone
That all her time's on loan
If this life's just a test
She's bringing out the best

Scream it loud 'til give out
We're gunna make the best of this fall
Open your hearts, are you listening?
Spread your arms like you've got wings

'Til it starts to feel like flying
