“Static in My Veins” Verse 1 I wake up in a neon blur, Same mistakes, yeah, I never learn Mirror talks but I tune it out, Too much noise in my head right now Hands shake like a broken wire, Running fast but I’m still so tired Every promise I tried to keep Fades away when it gets too deep Pre-Chorus I said I’d change, yeah, I swore it twice But I keep dancing on the edge of the knife Chorus There’s static in my veins tonight Can’t tell wrong from right I’m burning through the afterglow But I don’t wanna let it go I try to be somebody new But I fall right back into The chaos I can’t outrun Yeah, I’m scared of who I’ve become Verse 2 Heartbeat like a kick drum loud, Fake a smile in a faceless crowd Every high turns to empty space, Every fix leaves a bitter taste I see ghosts in the rearview glass, All the versions of me I trashed Try to scream but it comes out slow, Like I’m stuck in a feedback loop Pre-Chorus I say “I’m fine,” but it’s all a lie I’m just good at the alibi Chorus There’s static in my veins tonight Can’t tell wrong from right I’m burning through the afterglow But I don’t wanna let it go I try to be somebody new But I fall right back into The chaos I can’t outrun Yeah, I’m scared of who I’ve become Bridge (drop it down, hazy synths + echo) If I cut the signal, would I feel alive? Or just another version I can’t recognize? I’m holding onto something that’s pulling me under But letting go feels like losing the thunder Build (female harmonies stacking) Change, change—echo in my head Break, break—everything I said Fall, fall—just to feel again Am I me or just pretend? Final Chorus (full energy, big guitars + synths) There’s static in my veins tonight But I’m ready to fight I’m breaking through the undertow Even if I lose control I don’t need to be perfect now Just a little less messed up somehow I’m not who I was back then I can change—don’t know where to begin Outro (fading, distorted delay) Static fades… I hear my name… Maybe I won’t stay the same…
