Watch me Burn
[Intro]
Yeah
I don’t hear peace, I just hear…
Hssst
Listen
[Verse 1]
Every time it go quiet I flinch
Silence feel fake, I don’t trust that glitch
Head full of patterns I can’t unmix
Lines in my brain like a busted switch
TV snow in my skull on loop
White noise crawling up out the roof
You left that crater right through my chest
Now all that hum just moved in as a guest (yeah)
Can’t see clear, it’s a broken feed
Ghosts in the pixels keep choking me
You walked out, now it’s loud in here
Whole room buzzing like it smell of fear
[Chorus]
Static in my veins, static in my sight
You tore out my heart, filled the hole with the hype
Every little crack, every empty space
Filling up fast with that angry haze
I’m always hearing it, always seeing it (yeah)
Won’t let me forget where you left me sick
You put that hole in my heart that night
Now static is my life, static is my life
[Verse 2]
Words from you just smear like ink
Try to rewind but the tape just kinks
All our memories, chopped and spliced
Frames all jump where you cut my life
I count my sins by the hiss and pop
Every bad thought got its own small drop
When I try to pray, signal break and bend
Even my god got a glitch at the end
Friends talk sweet but they mouths just buzz
Lip-sync love with a hollow fuzz
I don’t feel touch, only feel the sting
Like every hug got a broken ring (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Static in my veins, static in my sight
You tore out my heart, filled the hole with the hype
Every little crack, every empty space
Filling up fast with that angry haze
I’m always hearing it, always seeing it (hey)
Won’t let me forget where you left me sick
You put that hole in my heart that night
Now static is my life, static is my life
[Bridge]
If I rip my chest wide, would it just be snow?
A million tiny needles where the love should go
If I change the channel, would you reappear?
Or would the screen still whisper that you’re nowhere near? (nowhere)
If I smash this set, would the sound turn clean?
Or would the shock just burn through another dream?
You left your echo, carved it in deep
Now even my sleep got a broken beat
[Chorus]
Static in my veins, static in my sight
You tore out my heart, filled the hole with the hype
Every little crack, every empty space
Filling up fast with that angry haze
I’m always hearing it, always seeing it (yeah)
Won’t let me forget where you left me sick
You put that hole in my heart that night
Now static is my life, static is my life (static)
Static is my life, static is my life
[Outro]
Static in my eyes, static in my veins
Run it through my body, through the wires in my brain
You put that hole in my heart, left an empty space
Static moved in, now it’s living in your place
Always hear the buzz, always see the rain
Little black dots crawling all across my pain
My mind so twisted I can’t see your face
Just static in my chest, static in your place
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
