[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Angular Electric Guitar, Tight Drums, Glitching Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
Right on the edge…
The bleeding edge.
Moving fast enough to feel all around…
But slow enough to look down.
[Refrain]
Flush
(With the bleeding edge)
Rush
(Looking over the ledge)
The gravity
(Would get to me)
Per second
(Per second)
Come to be reckoned
(Wreck on… and on and on)
[Verse 1]
Standing where the old meets new
Wondering what the edge can do
Technology is moving fast
How long can yesterday last?
One more step and one more leap
Into waters running deep
Looking down and looking through
At what we know and what we knew
[Refrain]
Flush
(With the bleeding edge)
Rush
(Looking over the ledge)
The gravity
(Would get to me)
Per second
(Per second)
Come to be reckoned
(Wreck on… and on and on)
[Verse 2]
Progress can be quite a ride
With a little danger on the side
What seems distant comes around
What was solid leaves the ground
Faster systems, faster change
Moving through a wider range
When the pace begins to climb
Can we keep up with the time?
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Sharp, Experimental Lead, Distorted Bass, Driving Drums, Glitch Synth Pulses]
[Bridge]
(32 feet)
Per second
(Per second)
Defeat the feat
Tick by tick
(Quick, quick, quick)
Step by step
(Watch your step)
Round and round
(Going down)
Gravity
(Won’t negotiate)
Reality
(Will calculate)
[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Deep Bass Pulse, Distant Guitar Harmonics, Filtered Synth]
32 feet per second
… for every single second that we fall
(After all…)
1 second: 32 ft/s (22 mph)
2 seconds: 64 ft/s (44 mph)
3 seconds: 96 ft/s (65 mph)
Better hold on tight
(’cause we just might…)
Not endure the floor
[Final Refrain]
Flush
(With the bleeding edge)
Rush
(Looking over the ledge)
The gravity
(Would get to me)
Per second
(Per second)
Come to be reckoned
(Wreck on… and on and on)
[Final Chorus]
Flush with the bleeding edge
(Rush!)
Careful on the ledge
(Watch out!)
Shout:
Gravity!
(Falling free)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Guitar Feedback, Pulsing Bass, Glitching Synth, Drums Building Then Abrupt Stop]
Flush…
Rush…
Bleeding edge…
Looking over…
The ledge…
Per second…
Per second…
Reckoned…
Wreck on…
And on…
And on…
And on.
