Static Hearts 💚

“Static Hearts” (soft vinyl crackle + distant thunder) [Intro] (mmm…) You ever miss somebody even while they’re standing beside you? …yeah. [Verse 1] Streetlights melt in the rain again Everybody numb, pretending I saw God in a bathroom stall Writing “don’t call back” on the wall Smoke curls like dying ghosts From the mouths of lonely folk Every laugh got cracked edges Every soul got old wreckage (mmm…) [Instrumental Solo 10 seconds] [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we’re all just shattered mirrors Trying to hold one face together Maybe love’s just a wound that sings When the night pulls hard on the strings Tell me you feel that too… [Chorus] We’re just static hearts in the dark Flickering like burned-out stars Trying not to fall apart But aching to be held by somebody If pain’s the language we all speak Why’s silence louder every week? (mmm…) Static hearts… Static hearts… [Verse 2] I met angels at the bus stop Black hoodies, cheap drinks, bloodshot Everybody carrying graves Hidden underneath their names Your voice still lives in my head Like old songs and cigarette scent Some nights I still talk to you Like the dead can answer too [Bridge] And maybe healing ain’t clean Maybe ghosts never really leave Maybe hearts don’t “move on” They just learn new ways to bleed (soft inhale) [Verse 3] To my dead Brotha I still see your shadow flicker In blue light and old winter to this day without you here I can’t see straight, Is this truly my fate? To a happily ever after I showed up late, All I got is a maddening mix of love & hate, Medicate & meditate!… is what they all tell me, But no body really knows me, The day I found out you were gone, My will to live also moved on! And to my horrible Ex your hollow hands Turned forever into sand! Cut me where the trust still lived Then smiled like that’s just what love is Now your memory tastes like acid rain Mixed with smoke and rusted pain But some souls still burn bright Like porchlights fighting an endless night, This can’t be right! To the demons I lost this fight, Cried so hard my pupils went white, So I get high as a kite, Under the beautiful moonlight, (mmm…) [Final Chorus] We’re just static hearts in the dark Broken poems with human scars If I drown in who I was Will somebody pull me out? Or are we all Just echoes now… [Outro] (vinyl hiss + rain fading) mmm… I still hear you in the static…
