Solar Wind

Slow burn. 302 moves a minute, peaking at 400 units a second.
A launch, then the engines cut and everything goes still. The peak lands in the middle and the whole second half drifts back down.
Lyrics
Intro
Nine, eight, the tower lights, the engines start to shake
Shiver... shiver... quiver... hold...
Three, two, one, and the whole sky breaks
Verse One
Pushed back in the seat, the city is a spark
Climb... climb... climb... higher... straight into the dark
Buzz... buzz... buzzing... through the glove and through the bone
Rise... rise... hold... we are a long way from home
Bridge
The engine cuts. The stars go still.
Tremble... tremble... trembling... hold...
Nothing holds you down out here.
Faster now, faster now
Peak
Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, we are burning through the blue
All the way up, all the way down, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke
Harder, faster, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, the window's going white
Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke... hold... release...
Comedown One
Now the sound goes out of everything at once
Sink... sink... slower... lower...
Glide... glide... hold...
Earth is a blue coin turning in the black
Comedown Two
Circle... circle... circling... the long way round
Softer... gentler... quiver... hold...
Stop... rest...
Nothing out here is in a hurry, and neither are you
Outro
Sleep in the seat, the autopilot knows the way
Hold... hold... rest...
Wake me when we're home.
