Swallowed by the Static

(Verse 1)

I scream into static, the echo don’t answer,

Trapped in a mind like a slow-spreading cancer.

Friends turned ghosts, love turned smoke,

God’s on mute, and the devil just spoke.

I light a match, but the flame won’t stay,

Hope’s just a joke in a voice that decays.

Lights go out, but I see too clear,

Nothing left but the buzz in my ear.

Pour it up, drown it down, fade to black—

If I die in this void, I ain’t coming back.

---

(Pre-Chorus)

Every sip is a prayer in reverse,

Every night’s just a little bit worse.

Digging my grave with a bottle in hand,

Lost in a place no one understands.

---

(Chorus)

I’m spiraling out in a silence so loud,

With demons for friends and shame like a shroud.

No light at the end, no reason to pretend—

This bottle's the start and it's also the end.

I tried to fight, but I lost that war,

Now I’m just drowning, wanting more.

No rope, no hope, no voices to call—

Just bottles and black holes and watching me fall.

---

(Verse 2)

The mirror don’t lie but I still avoid it,

That face ain’t mine, it’s something distorted.

Sold myself for a moment of peace,

But it came with a leash that’ll never release.

Fake laughs, real shakes, numb at best,

Woke up screaming with pain in my chest.

A parade of pills, a choir of shots,

Each one a ticket to a place I forgot.

I ain’t healing, just hiding in haze,

Each drink buys another few days.

---

(Bridge – Screamed / Spoken)

Is this all I am?

Just a whisper in rot?

A ghost with a grin in a world I forgot?

I scream in the dark but it just says “cheers,”

So I toast with the void and swallow my fears.

I called for help, but the line stayed dead,

And the silence laughed while I bled and bled.

No messages, no missed calls—just static,

My life's not tragic, it’s goddamn cinematic.

Spiraling like smoke down a black-lit drain,

Each bottle uncorks more venom and pain.

---

(Breakdown / Alt Rap)

I used to dream, now I just drift,

Used to feel real, now I just shift.

Drown in the couch, choke on regret,

A Netflix haze and cigarette.

Forget your prayers, forget your lies,

I'm knee-deep in rot, where the good part dies.

The screen’s my god, the buzz my friend,

I scroll for life that will never begin.

And nobody knows, and nobody sees—

They think I’m fine ‘cause I said “I'm okay, please.”

---

(Final Chorus)

I’m spiraling out in a silence so loud,

With demons for friends and shame like a shroud.

No light at the end, no reason to pretend—

This bottle's the start and it's also the end.

I tried to fight, but I lost that war,

Now I’m just drowning, wanting more.

No rope, no hope, no voices to call—

Just bottles and black holes and watching me fall.

---

(Outro)

So here’s to the nights I forgot my name,

To the cuts, the lies, the endless shame.

If I vanish, don’t follow, don’t cry, don’t chase—

I’m already lost in that black, bitter place.

And the bottle…

It knows me best.

And the void…

It knows the rest.
