Crom – Attached To The Screen lyrics

[Chorus]
Breathe for me... cause' I can't
You see the pain and you just fail to move, you'll see...
Sitting there watching history
Being made, you're afraid and sit behind the screen and the screams...

[Flight 11]
The clock started ringing, I got up and took a shower
Then I drove to the airport, It took me about an hour
I checked in my bags, they collected my pass
To inspect it... I paid with a card instead of cash
On the plane... It took a while to find the seat
Number 1-1-9, I tried to be discreet
But when I found it, It was actually taken
I had to show my ticket just to show it's not a mistake and
I had to wait, the man had to move his bags
He then apologized and I excused him and thanked
He came from middle-east Europe and his English was bad
In fact a few more like him, were also in business class
I stopped thinking about and I relaxed
As a girl passed by... I noticed she glanced
Strapped my self like my life depended
When the turbulence ended I called a flight-attended
She appeared in a second and noticed that I was nervous
She asked if I was feeling ok and offered more drinks
I said I'm fine but I've never flied before this
She smiled as she gave me a pillow and said: Enjoy it!
Then she went to the back of the plane
I heard a man talking to her, it was actually strange
He started yelling, something about "crashing the plane"
Then he pulled a knife and just stabbed her in the face
It just happened so quick, she died then
Now the whole plane was being controlled five men
The panic spread with the fear onboard
They only told us the final destination would be New York

[Chorus]
Breathe for me... cause' I can't
You see the pain and you just fail to move, you'll see...
Sitting there watching history
Being made, you're afraid and sit behind the screen and the screams...

[The North Tower]
As I ran across the hall I fell and dropped some papers
Had to scream "Wait up!" for them to stop the elevator
I'm late for work and I'm suddenly stressed
One of the men inside asked me which button to press
So I had to tell him quick, hit the eighty fifth
Damn I hate Tuesdays and the daily shift
Just thinking about the schedule, makes me sick
I should've called and told them that today I'm sick
The doors opened, I continued to rush
My secretary and my partner, Cindy and Buck
Waited for me at the entrance and both were pissed
They gave me coffee and my documents, I focused quick
I had to change into a proper suit
I had two minutes to get to the conference room
Was just in time, the meeting has started
A bunch of customers and important people were talking
I sat quietly down, what's that disturbing sound?
Is that a plane that just emerged from the clouds?
At first I didn't see it because the light reflected
From the sun on the metal... flight eleven...
I dropped the cup on the floor and tried grasp the facts
The plane was aiming under us, I heard a blast
The walls around me the floor collapsed
I saw the ball of the flames, it went suddenly black

[Chorus]
Breathe for me... cause' I can't
You see the pain and you just fail to move, you'll see...
Sitting there watching history
Being made, you're afraid and sit behind the screen and the screams...

[Crome]
I took the bike after school and I rode pretty fast...
Stopped by the grocery store to pick up a mag
A couple minutes later I was chilling at home
My dad was in the living room, I was trying to flow
In my room but writers block made me put the pad down
I was mad... the TV was on in the background
I didn't notice it at first when I glanced
When I saw the building burning I just didn't understand
So I flipped the chan, Jay Leno was on
I kept flipping... (What the?) Something is terribly wrong!
I better be calm about it, the fuck is going on?
That's world trade, a piece of the structure was gone
I heard them say something about a commercial plane
Was the shit done on purpose or just the worst mistake?
They didn't know, everybody wanted answers indeed
There I was like the rest of the world attached to the screen..
