The Moment Explodes

The engine stops
The plane drops
The moment explodes.

A sudden rush
A brute hush
And the moment explodes
The moment explodes.

Into thoughts of all the things I've left undone
And flashes from a life I've just begun.

Every friend I ever knew, or thought I did
The love that I could give, the love I hid.

Every stupid, life-before-your-eyes cliche
Could I please go out some less expected way?
But none alive or dying crack those codes
When the moment explodes.

The staircase dips
The foot trips
The moment explodes.

The dark road curves
The car swerves
And the moment explodes
And the moment explodes.

And it reaches to the future and the past
To every moment ever, first to last.

And every life I reached, but could not touch
And every life I reached, but could not touch
And everyone I loved, or loved too much.

And every chance I took, or did not make
Connections that I made, or did not make
But I'll never take those turns to other roads.

Once the moment
When the moment
When the moment
The engine stops
The plane drops
The moment explodes.
