Flobots - Jetpack lyrics

I will not bend, I will not bow
I will not break, I'll stand my ground
Won't be afraid to sing out loud
To sing out loud, to sing out loud
The visions of what's involved
(I will not bend, I will not bow)
The tensions you must resolve
(I will not break, I'll stand my ground)
Distractions will just dissolve
(Won't be afraid to sing out loud)
You are not like me

He's encountered a setback
He isn't down to let that
Keep him on the ground, press that
Button, ignite the jetpack!
Launch pad shrink, disappear
Past the brink the
Atmosphere's thinning and his
Plasma's tingly
Planes appear to be birds and


Birds appear to be bees and
He's hearing the words that
Occur to him for no reason
"What are you living your life for?
What are you willing to die for?
What do you believe to be the grain
Of truth you can provide for?
This grand adventure?
Is it your plan to spend your
Days batted about by these random events?
Are you fueled by another engine
Lighting a fire beneath?
Have you breathed and seen your
Breath in the winds
And have you reached that point?

Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
The visions of what's involved
(I will not bend, I will not bow)
The tensions you must resolve
(I will not break, I'll stand my ground)
Distractions will just dissolve
(Won't be afraid to sing out loud)
You are not like me

You only get to see this earth one time it's
Axis tilts, it changes climates
Plates shift weights and
Continents drift and draft twisted fates and
Monstrous frictions
Fragmentations, stress and aggravation
Depression and confusion and
Bad relations, use your
Imagination elude their categorization
Whether the crowd gives boos or
Congratulations, the blue's just
Something you move through to the
Vast expanses of space on the
Universal infinite path to emancipation, the
Gravity of the planet
Grips you but don't abandon
Ship you feel the pressures in
Side, can you withstand it?

Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
Have you reached that point?
The visions of what's involved
(I will not bend, I will not bow)
The tensions you must resolve
(I will not break, I'll stand my ground)
Distractions will just dissolve
(Won't be afraid to sing out loud)
You are not like me

The heights you'll reach, the
Depths you'll delve to
Depends on the propulsion
System that propels you
Methods that compel you
Messages they sell you
Punishments they give you
For doing what they tell you
But we've got passion they've got prisons
You've got the freedom to make a decision
Will you abandon all your addictions
Take your stand and live your convictions
What've you got to lose, what've
You been taught to choose
What're you so hot to prove with your
Beautiful socks and shoes
The costume's frayed cloth covers
Skin like a shroud
Exhaust fumes fade off in the wind
Like a cloud

The visions of what's involved
(I will not bend, I will not bow)
The tensions you must resolve
(I will not break, I'll stand my ground)
Distractions will just dissolve
(Won't be afraid to sing out loud)
You are not like me
