Sunday Static

[Lo-fi drum machine, rubbery bass, vocal harmony pad, radio noise layers] [Long Verse 1] Curtains blink between sleep and glare, Someone downstairs pretends to care. Mailbox stuffed with folded grace, Bills hum hymns to an empty place. The neighbor’s dog recites the news, Same four words, same old blues. [Short Verse 1 – syncopated snaps] Coffee burns, tongue forgets, Dreams leak through cigarettes. [Refrain 1] Sunday static, tune it right, Heaven’s off by one tonight. [Long Verse 2] Kids chalk halos on the tar, Erase themselves, then draw a car. Clouds crawl slow, too proud to cry, Rain rehearses its goodbye. [Radio Bridge – spoken through filter] This transmission brought to you by quiet desperation. Keep your dial exactly where it hurts. [Short Verse 2 – half-time groove] Hands on glass, pulse in thread, Music hums where prayers bled. [Refrain 2 – stacked vocals] Sunday static, tune it right, Heaven’s off by one tonight. Sunday static, fade to grey, Nobody left to turn away. [Loop Outro – chorus fragment repeats into feedback] La-da-da, la-da-da, keep the noise, keep the day.
