[Intro]
\nLike a speedometer (Our barometer)
\nWith a broken needle (Going fetal)
\nBarreling toward a cliff (Societal riff)
\nCan we pull through?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAll’s askew
\n(What cha gonna do?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nUnderestimate
\nAcceleration rate
\nIgnore some more
\nWill we endure<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLike a speedometer (Our barometer)
\nWith a broken needle (Going fetal)
\nBarreling toward a cliff (Societal riff)
\nCan we pull through?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAll’s askew
\n(What cha gonna do?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nConceal damage
\nOf our age
\nFlukes born
\nNow the norm<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLike a speedometer (Our barometer)
\nWith a broken needle (Going fetal)
\nBarreling toward a cliff (Societal riff)
\nCan we pull through?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAll’s askew
\n(What cha gonna do?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLike a speedometer (Our barometer)
\nWith a broken needle (Going fetal)
\nBarreling toward a cliff (Societal riff)
\nCan we pull through?<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nAll’s askew
\n(What cha gonna do?)<\/p>\n
