Get you on your (2)________ again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the (3)__________ facts:
Can you (4)________ me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A (5)______________ ship smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear (6)________ you’re sayin’.
