Under the static

Intro

(soft, airy)

un-der the sta-tic (hold)

some-thing won’t let go (fade in)

⸻

Verse 1

(steady)

I hear it crawl be-neath my thoughts

twist-ing all the lines I’ve got

every word begins to rot

I can’t shut it out

the mirror shows a dif-fer-ent me

some-one else is look-ing through me

every blink I start to see

what I can’t a-void

⸻

Pre-Chorus

(build)

say it once a-gain (hold)

let it sink be-low

I can’t tell if this

is me or just a ghost

bend-ing e-ve-ry truth

break-ing what I know

I am los-ing ground

fall-ing in-to you

⸻

Chorus

(strong, sustained)

un-der the sta-tic (hold)

you’re watch-ing me

I try to fight it

you won’t re-lease

un-der the sur-face

you start to grow

I’m bare-ly breath-ing

you take con-trol (hold)

⸻

Post-Chorus

(soft echo)

you’re in my mind

you mul-ti-ply

I can’t de-ny

⸻

Verse 2

(steady, darker)

every shadow moves too fast

like it’s built from all my past

every sec-ond nev-er lasts

it just folds a-way

I feel your voice with-out a sound

pull-ing strings and drag-ging down

spin me lost and spin me ‘round

till I dis-ap-pear

⸻

Pre-Chorus

(build)

say it once a-gain

pull me fur-ther in

I can’t find the edge

of where you be-gin

⸻

Chorus

(stronger)

un-der the sta-tic

you’re watch-ing me

I try to fight it

you won’t re-lease

un-der the sur-face

you start to grow

I’m los-ing feel-ing

you take my soul

⸻

Bridge

(hypnotic, faster)

clos-er clos-er in my head

nev-er leav-ing nev-er dead

ov-er ov-er words I’ve said

echo back a-gain

clos-er clos-er I can’t see

what is real or what is me

ov-er ov-er I de-cay

slip-ping a-way

⸻

Break

(whisper)

am I me

or are you

⸻

Final Chorus

(full, intense)

un-der the sta-tic

you’re all I’ve got

I try to break it

but I can-not

un-der the sur-face

you take con-trol

I’m bare-ly liv-ing

you are my soul (hold)

⸻

Outro

(fade out)

un-der the sta-tic

you’re still a-live
