This Beautiful Republic

VS1
The plane is starting to smoke
I think that everyone knows
That this thing will soon be going down
Some people think that theres hope (were a joke)
Some people think that well choke
Which will it be?
Pre-chorus
When we know we see the ending
Quickly fading, we see that were dying
Chorus
I know its a tragedy
That sometimes people lose their wings
When were crashing down, what will they see?
When (now) theres nothings left, who are we?
VS2
Its going down like a flame
Theres no one out there to blame
We made our choice and now theres no more time
The black box is hearing the hope and the fearing
What will it say
Pre-chorus
After all the smoke has cleared
Theres only one record theyll ever see
Our Black Box says it all, it tells them who we are, who we are
