Whispers in the Static

[Verse] The walls are cracked like my tired mind Splinters of thoughts I can’t leave behind The echoes rise in a haunting tide A scream that whispers "You're losing the fight" [Verse 2] My heart’s a matchbox soaked in rain The voices strike It sparks in pain Every shout's a dagger Every plea a chain They tighten They twist I can’t explain [Chorus] They’re screaming my heart into submission Breaking me down with precision A chorus of ghosts I can’t outrun A war inside that’s never won [Bridge] Static fills the spaces I can’t breathe A radio station that won’t let me leave Their songs are sharp Their rhythm deceives A melody of wounds I can’t believe [Verse 3] The mirror cracks when I meet my stare The voice inside says "You’re not there" It’s a battle cry A cold affair A fight for a soul that’s stripped bare [Chorus] They’re screaming my heart into submission Breaking me down with precision A chorus of ghosts I can’t outrun A war inside that’s never won
