I delve into the emotional effects of surviving an airplane crash and being rescued. Fictional of course!

Nosedive

Verse 1
Pressure drops, the air grows thin
Captain hollers, we’ve lost an engine
Alarms are singing, among the din
Gravity pulls me into the spin

Pre-Chorus
I’m locked inside a freefall,
No map, no course, no guide.
The horizon breaks before me,
And there’s nowhere left to hide.

Verse 2
Metal groans, the cabin shakes
Hope dissolves in the trail we make
Oxygen masks fall from the sky
I close my eyes, I don’t ask why

Pre-Chorus
I’m locked inside a freefall,
No map, no course, no guide.
The horizon breaks before me,
And there’s nowhere left to hide.



Verse 3
Maybe this is the reckoning
Maybe this is the end of me
Or maybe through the smoke and fire
I’ll find a way to rise much higher

Pre-chorus
I’m locked inside a freefall,
No map, no course, no guide.
The horizon breaks before me,
And there’s nowhere left to hide.




Lost At Sea

Floating on a wing, drifting into gray
Salt in my mouth, I don’t know what to say
The horizon bends, it breaks like a fever
I call your name, but it’s swallowed by ether
The oil burns, the sea turns black
I keep looking forward, but I only see back
The sky looks hazy, the signals fade
I saw God in between the horror we made
The silence hums, it’s louder than prayer
If you were with me, would you even care?
The compass spins, points to nowhere
I taste the smoke, but there’s no air
A ghost of a hand brushes against mine
Was it you, or just another sign?
The oil burns, the tide won’t rest
I write your name in the waves, but it won’t confess
The sky looks hazy, the signals fade
I saw God in between the horror we made
The silence hums, it’s louder than prayer
If you were with me, would you even care?
All the wreckage glows like a lantern’s flame
But I can’t remember why I came
Every star collapses into a scream
And I keep waking inside this terrible dream


Lost At Sea

Verse 1
The fire went out, the ocean went still
I woke on the shore, lungs heavy but filled
Salt in my veins, smoke in my hair
Somehow I’m here, though I shouldn’t be there

Pre-Chorus
Among the wreck, among the din
I thought the dark would pull me in

Chorus
But I was rescued, pulled from the tide
Carried by hands I couldn’t describe
Rescued, though I don’t know why
Still half-broken, still alive

Verse 2
Voices like echoes, blurred silhouettes
The sound of machines I can’t forget
I drift in the quiet, I sink in the light
Haunted by flames, but spared by the night

Pre-Chorus
Among the waves, among the cries
I saw the fear in stranger’s eyes

Chorus
But I was rescued, pulled from the tide
Carried by hands I couldn’t describe
Rescued, though I don’t know why
Still half-broken, still alive

Bridge
If this is a mercy, it cuts like a blade
If this is salvation, it comes too late
I’m here in the silence, I can’t explain
Why I was lifted from fire and rain

Final Chorus
I was rescued, torn from the deep
But I’ll never wake from the dreams I keep
Rescued, but I don’t feel saved
Still remembering the flames


Rescued

Reassimilation (This Fractured Life)

Verse 1
The lights are harsh, the ground feels strange,
After years away, everything's changed.
The faces familiar, yet out of place,
I search for belonging, a trace of grace.

Verse 2
The skyline hums a forgotten song,
I feel like I never belonged for long.
But whispers remind me, the roots still remain,
Beneath the concrete, beneath the pain.

Chorus
Reassimilation, finding my way,
Through cracks in the pavement, night into day.
Carrying shadows, but learning to stand,
I’m piecing together this fractured life with broken hands.

Verse 3
And if I falter, if I fall,
The city will answer, it knows it all.
Through loss and fracture, I’ve come to know,
The only way back is to let it show.

Chorus (Repeat)
Reassimilation, finding my way,
Through cracks in the pavement, night into day.
Carrying shadows, but learning to stand,
I’m piecing together this fractured life with broken hands.


Reassimilation (This Fractured Life)

Redemption

Verse 1
The wreckage is gone, but the memory remains
Salt on my skin, and the ghosts in my veins

Verse 2
I carried the silence, the weight of the sky
Every night asking, why wasn’t it I?

Chorus
Redemption, it finds me in the quiet air
I see their faces, but I’m not trapped there
The storm is over, I can finally breathe
Redemption, it lives inside of me

Verse 3
The black box is buried, but my story survived
I’ve walked through the fire, I’ve kept myself alive

Chorus
Redemption, it finds me in the quiet air
I see their faces, but I’m not trapped there
The storm is over, I can finally breathe
Redemption, it lives inside of me

Verse 4
I’m not the man I was, but I’m still here
Every scar is a prayer, every breath sincere

Final Chorus
Redemption, it whispers when the night is long
It doesn’t erase them, it just makes me strong
The storm is over, I can finally breathe
Redemption, it lives inside of me

Chorus
Redemption, it finds me in the quiet air
I see their faces, but I’m not trapped there
The storm is over, I can finally breathe
Redemption, it lives inside of me
