This one hums like a loyal dog Scuffed paint Coffee stain on the dash Stutters on takeoff Then settles Like it remembers my hands That one’s sharp All angles Attitude Shakes when I slam the throttle wide Panel lights glare like a warning “Treat me right or we both collide” Every ship has a heartbeat Beating Every frame has a different soul Same stars But the ride keeps changing Every cockpit teaches me control I don’t just fly them I feel them From the rattle to the quiet hum Every ship has a heartbeat Breathing And I keep falling in love with each one Freighter floats like a drifting house Slow turns You feel the weight think twice You plan your moves three clouds ahead Patience takes the pilot’s side Racer’s a rumor under my spine Twitch of a finger and it’s gone I barely sit I almost wear it Blink wrong and the line is drawn Every ship has a heartbeat Beating Every frame has a different soul Same stars But the ride keeps changing Every cockpit teaches me control I don’t just fly them I feel them From the rattle to the quiet hum Every ship has a heartbeat Breathing And I keep falling in love with each one Gunboat growls like a cornered beast (oh-oh) Armor sings when the rounds come close Fighter laughs in the tight roll Teasing “Is this fear or is this hope?” Little starter Cramped and stubborn Still smells like the training sim But when I cut through dawn on Daymar It feels like the ‘verse belongs to it Every ship has a heartbeat Beating Every frame has a different soul Same stars But the ride keeps changing Every cockpit teaches me control I don’t just fly them I feel them From the rattle to the quiet hum Every ship has a heartbeat Breathing And I keep falling in love with each one
