Static in My Head

Eyes don’t stay where I left them Thoughts keep slipping out of step then Walls breathe closer when I blink I forget what I should think Time folds in on itself again Same start, different end I hear noise inside the skin But I don’t know where it begins I try to hold it, it comes apart Static pulling at the dark Static in my head Static in my mind Can’t hold still Can’t stay aligned Static in my head Static in my mind Losing shape One frame at a time I talk but the words don’t land They scatter through my hand Faces blur, I lose the thread Something moves behind my head The room keeps bending wrong I swear I’ve been here too long But time forgets my name And nothing stays the same I can’t hold it, it won’t stay Everything dissolves away Static in my head Static in my mind Can’t hold still Can’t stay aligned Static in my head Static in my mind Losing shape One frame at a time Static… in my head… Static… in my mind… (can’t align / can’t align) Static in my head Static in my— GET IT OUT— I can’t… stay… here…
