[Intro] Verse 1 You line the walls with silver tape To catch the light, to block the shape Of something crawling in your mind It’s just the news, it’s just the time Verse 2 You walk the street, you count the cracks Avoid the ones that might collapse You hum a tune from '92 You never learned, but somehow knew Chorus Hey, don’t let it pull you down The static’s thick but there’s no sound Hey, you’re just a flicker in the frame No one ever wins the game Verse 3 A paper dove, a parking fine The way you freeze in morning light The city's smoke, the silent crowd The quiet ones are screaming loud Chorus Hey, don’t let it pull you down The static’s thick but there’s no sound Hey, you’re just a flicker in the frame But even ghosts can stake a claim Bridge You vote, you shop, you fade, you burn You try to speak, you wait your turn They sold you calm, they sold you pride But never asked what’s left inside Final Chorus Hey, don’t let it pull you down The static’s thick but there’s no sound Hey, you’re just a flicker in the frame But even sparks can light a flame [Outro] “Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy…”
