Kitchen Light Flickerin’

Verse 1 Yeah… Got a voice in my skull like a crack in the wall Sayin’ I ain’t enough, I’ma fall, I’ma stall And I stall—every step feel heavy as regret Like I’m draggin’ every word I ain’t said yet I remember nights, kitchen light flickerin’ dim Tryna piece together who I was back then Now I’m lookin’ in the mirror like, “who let him in?” ‘Cause the face don’t match what I kept within Every win got a shadow that’s followin’ close Every high got a drop, yeah I already know So I toast to the ghost of the kid I was Who believed every dream wasn’t built to rust Pre-Chorus And I— Hear it callin’ when it’s quiet Like it knows I can’t deny it Chorus There’s static in my head, can’t tune it out Every word I never said gets louder now If I break, will I finally feel somethin’? Or just drown in the noise I’ve been runnin’ from? There’s static in my head… Verse 2 I been runnin’ from a past I can’t outrun still Like a treadmill stuck on a downhill Tryna stand still, but the ground tilt And I spill every thought that I kept sealed Yeah, I built walls but they echo back Every crack got a voice I can’t let go past And it laughs when I act like I’m over that Like “you healed?”—nah, I just got better at masks Every promise I made, I misplaced it Every version of me, I replaced it Now I’m facin’ the truth I was chasin’ You can’t outrap pain, just phrase it Chorus There’s static in my head, can’t tune it out Every word I never said gets louder now If I break, will I finally feel somethin’? Or just drown in the noise I’ve been runnin’ from? Bridge (soft / spoken) If I turn it off… Do I lose myself? Or was I never… really there? Final Chorus (bigger) There’s static in my head, but I hear it clear Every fear I buried still lives right here If I break—maybe that’s the start Not the end of a shattered heart
