A body? “Who are you?” I say when a voice cracks like a frozen lake “I am your child, You are my mother and I’m sitting here dying” I say “I got no children, I am but a boy, you are mistaken ”She sings “Follow me down through the wind and the earth to the edge of the forgotten seas” “Save me from the hurt” “Tell me of my worth” “A phantom is taking everything” Deadstick Death wish Panic in the cockpit Praying in the cabin We’re all holding hands Deadstick Death wish Lost all propulsive Propellers ain’t spinning Being forced to land Deadstick Death wish We’re shutting off the engines Blues skies are turning a darker grey Deadstick Death wish Heading for the smoking hole in the airfield I can’t locate Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Save me! I’m in a tight spot Catastrophe Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Save me! I’m ‘bout to make a crash landing Deadstick Deadstick I’m a bird with a broken wing Deadstick Deadstick This nightingale can’t sing Yeah! Deadstick Death wish I can’t believe we made it out alive Deadstick Death wish Send me help before I die
