Static

​[Intro: Muffled piano, distant street noise]
It’s 3 AM and the walls are getting closer again.
Just me and this flickering light.
​[Verse 1: Sharp trap flow, dry vocals]
Left my phone face down on the kitchen floor
Can’t take the "how you doin'" texts no more.
Counting every crack along the ceiling tile
I haven't really felt like me in a long while.
My mother called twice, but I couldn’t find the words
Just the sound of the static and the morning birds.
I’m a ghost in my own house, walking through the halls
Writing all my secrets on the bathroom walls.
​[Pre-Chorus: Rising synth tension, layered vocals]
And it’s heavy, yeah it’s heavy in my chest
Screaming at the mirror just to get it off my breast.
I’m breaking, and I’m ready for the spill
If the world keeps spinning, then I’m standing still.
​[Chorus: Explosive 808 bass, melodic gritty vocals]
I’m just a mess in a designer frame
Trying to find a face that doesn't have a name.
The sky is turning purple and the rain is turning black
I’m headed for the edge and I’m never coming back.
No, I’m never coming back.
​[Verse 2: Faster delivery, aggressive percussion]
Check my pulse, it’s a rhythm that I don’t even know
I’m putting on a costume and I’m putting on a show.
They see the gold teeth, but they don't see the rot
They want the person that I know that I am not.
I’m burning every bridge just to see if I can swim
The light inside this room is getting dim, getting dim.
​[Pre-Chorus: Heavy riser, building tension]
And it’s heavy, yeah it’s heavy in my chest
Screaming at the mirror just to get it off my breast.
I’m breaking, and I’m ready for the spill
If the world keeps spinning, then I’m standing still.
​[Chorus: Massive 808 drop, energetic delivery]
I’m just a mess in a designer frame
Trying to find a face that doesn't have a name.
The sky is turning purple and the rain is turning black
I’m headed for the edge and I’m never coming back.
​[Verse 3: Slowed down flow, heavy 808 slides]
Shadows follow me when I go to bed
Bitter things the ghost of "me" said.
Spent a thousand nights trying to pay the debt
Of every single memory I’m trying to forget.
​[Bridge: Muffled piano, dry close-up vocals]
Tired of the noise, tired of the mask
If you see me drowning, don’t even bother to ask.
I’m letting go... yeah, I’m letting go.
​[Final Chorus: Maximum energy, wide layering]
I’m just a mess in a designer frame
Trying to find a face that doesn't have a name.
The sky is turning purple and the rain is turning black
I’m headed for the edge and I’m never coming back.
​[Outro: Slowed + Reverb, fading]
Never coming back...
Just leave the static on.
(Static fades to silence)
