[Intro - Distant guitar feedback swell, muted piano notes] [Verse 1] Woke up on the bathroom floor again Cold tile pressing through my skin Phone screen glowing 3:16 Another call I won’t let in Coffee cup rings on the desk Unpaid bills under my chest I try to stand, my legs resist Like gravity just clenched its fist [Pre-Chorus] Every mirror’s telling me I’m counterfeit Every breath feels like a debt I can’t remit I scream but it won’t transmit [Chorus] There’s static in my head, it never lets me rest A thousand voices saying I’m a waste of breath I try to turn it down but it’s louder instead I’m fighting with the static in my head Static in my head [Instrumental Break - Palm-muted guitar riff building tension] [Verse 2] Friends say, “Just give it time” Like time’s a switch I can rewind They see a smile I’ve redesigned Stapled on and poorly aligned Shower running, I just sit Counting cracks along the плит Water rising at my feet But I can’t make my body move to leave [Pre-Chorus] Every mirror’s telling me I’m counterfeit Every breath feels like a debt I can’t remit I shout but it won’t transmit [Chorus] There’s static in my head, it never lets me rest A thousand voices saying I’m a waste of breath I try to turn it down but it’s louder instead I’m fighting with the static in my head Static in my head [Bridge - Half-time drums, clean guitar arpeggio] Maybe I’m not the sum of what I failed to be Maybe the fault lines don’t define the ground in me If I can hold on through this frequency Maybe the silence will find me [Build - Drums intensify, distorted guitars fade in] [Chorus] There’s static in my head, it never lets me rest A thousand voices saying I’m a waste of breath I try to turn it down but it’s louder instead I’m fighting with the static in my head Static in my head [Outro - Full band, sustained final chord] Static in my head… But I’m still here.
