Liner Notes

This song is for the #CommentsFirst challenge (https://write.fawm.org/forums/3025). It doesn't exist yet. It will be written based on the first few comments it receives. Please leave a comment below!

This is ideal for me as I will be traveling on a plane and not home until late tonight, so I hope will be happily surprised by lovely comments.
Looking forward to this!
========================================== Well , this did not happen!
========================================
Coming home from holiday, our flight was delayed, and we sat in the departure lounge for 9 hours. Busy place, hot and noisy. Very congested . But I had WIFI, so I could read the comments before I got on the plane. I made some #VoiceMemos on my phone, and wrote down lines to incorporate into a song.#Garageband PS> IT IS NOT 7 MINUTES< but I did not know how to make the recording shorter, and in the process I lost it altogether, so this is what I have. ends at 3:30.

Lyrics

Speaker Static

Verse 1:
Tick… tick… waiting on the gate line
Clock’s laughing, running out of my mind
Voice on the speaker, crackling, droning
"Flight’s been delayed," man, ain't that just golden?

Chorus:
Speaker static, white noise panic
Trapped in a loop, can't understand it
Endless waiting, suffocating
This jet ain't ever taking off!

Verse 2:
Rows of zombies, staring at their phones
Overpriced coffee, cold to the bone
Another excuse, another "soon"
This tin can's never leaving the room

Bridge
("Attention passengers...")
Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you
Another delay, we’re stuck in this tomb
Please stay seated, please stay numb
Your patience is appreciated...[yeah, right]

Chorus
Speaker static, white noise panic
Trapped in a loop, can't understand it
Endless waiting, suffocating
This jet ain't ever taking off!

("We appreciate your patience...")
I don't, I won’t, I'm done, I’m gone
