**[Intro]** **[Verse 1]** Woke up chewing on static and wires Dreams like rust in a spiral fire Saw my name scratched into glass Bleeding backwards through the hourglass I flicker wrong in motel light Flicker-sync with a heart in flight I stitched my mouth shut just to scream But the echo leaks through every seam **[Pre-Chorus]** I hear my name, but it won’t align Keeps skipping on the faultline **[Chorus]** Splinters in stereo, tearing through the signal snow Every word is warped and slow You hear me clear, then let it blow Static bloom, this crooked show I’m—just—a—gli-glitch—too—loud—to—go **[Verse 2]** Hung my past on a bent coat hook Filed my life where no one would look Skinned my soul on a concrete smile I’ve been dead behind these eyes a while **[Pre-Chorus]** Tried to rewind, but the reel won’t catch I’m a loop with a missing patch **[Chorus]** Splinters in stereo, caught between the yes and no I vanish in the undertow You pull me close, then let me go Like ash that’s dancing in the glow I’m just a wound that won’t outgrow **[Bridge]** There’s a version of me in a locked cassette Screaming secrets I still regret You played it back, but all you got Was hiss and hum and tangled thought I stayed too long inside the noise Watched myself break through the voice Thought I was real, but it was just the sound Repeating until it all broke down **[Break]** **[Chorus]** Splinters in stereo, I’m buried in the afterglow Signal cracked and overflowed You kept the lie, I watched it grow Now I’m the noise that won’t let go The broken song you used to know **[Outro]** Just a ghost—just a ghost
