Title: Static in My Veins [Intro] One, two, three, four! [Verse 1] I got holes in my hoodie and dust in my lungs A mouth full of matches and a heart too young Everybody keeps saying I should calm down But I was born in the noise of a burned-out town Streetlights flicker like they know my name Every cracked-up sidewalk looks the same I’ve been running on fumes and caffeine rage Writing bad decisions on a bathroom page [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your cure I don’t need your chains I just need a reason To set fire to the pain [Chorus] There’s static in my veins tonight I’m all wrong, but I feel alive Screaming at the stars till my throat goes dry I won’t disappear, I won’t apologize We’re the kids they tried to tune out Too loud, too lost, too proud Turn it up till the walls cave in There’s static in my veins again [Verse 2] Got a black eye from a bad week’s truth And a cheap guitar with a missing tooth Mama said, son, don’t waste your spark But I learned how to glow in the dark Every teacher said I’d never get far Now I’m chasing midnight in a beat-up car With a backseat choir and a dashboard light Singing broken hearts into Friday night [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your map I don’t need your lane I just need a chorus Loud enough to kill the shame [Chorus] There’s static in my veins tonight I’m all wrong, but I feel alive Screaming at the stars till my throat goes dry I won’t disappear, I won’t apologize We’re the kids they tried to tune out Too loud, too lost, too proud Turn it up till the walls cave in There’s static in my veins again [Bridge] I was never made for silence I was never built to fold I’m a cracked screen kind of violent With a paper crown of gold I’m a warning, I’m a siren I’m a bruise that learned to sing I’m the sound of every nobody Becoming everything [Breakdown] Hey! We don’t break quiet Hey! We don’t fade clean Hey! If they want a riot They can start with me [Final Chorus] There’s static in my veins tonight I’m all wrong, but I feel alive Screaming at the stars till my throat goes dry I won’t disappear, I won’t apologize We’re the kids they tried to tune out Too loud, too lost, too proud Turn it up till the walls cave in There’s static in my veins again [Outro] Too loud Too lost Too proud There’s static in my veins again
