Static in My Veins

Kick the door, cold floor

Same four walls and a cracked-down monitor

Scroll through storms I can't afford

Every headline tastes like war

Bite my tongue till it burns

Laugh it off but the anger turns

I'm so wired, I'm so tired

Every thought feels barbed and wired

I've got static in my veins, can't tune it out

White noise in my brain, I choke, I shout

If the world keeps burning, I'll burn too

Till the ash on my hands looks just like you

Static in my veins, I won't calm down

I'll turn every breakdown into sound

Black hood, back lot

Sneakers skidding in the same dead parking spot

You say chill, you say "it's fine"

While the sky draws chalk around the power lines

I don't want your hollow cheer

"Stay positive" while you disappear

If this is how the future feels

Then let it crack, let the fault lines peel

I've got static in my veins, can't tune it out

White noise in my brain, I choke, I shout

If the world keeps burning, I'll burn too

Till the ash on my hands looks just like you

Static in my veins, I won't calm down

I'll turn every breakdown into sound

(Yeah) I won't sit still

Tongue like a spark in a gas-filled grill

If this is my curse and my shield

Then meet me out on the fault-line field

I've got static in my veins, can't tune it out

White noise in my brain, I choke, I shout

If the world keeps burning, I'll burn too

Till the ash on my hands looks just like you

Static in my veins, I won't calm down

I'll turn every breakdown into sound
