Intro Do not be afraid. You were not made to carry this much. The Static provides. Verse 1 Flesh is a fever Breath is a debt Names are just wounds The body won’t forget Born into bruising Raised into rust Calling it holy Calling it dust Hands full of hunger Eyes full of rain You learned to love What taught you pain Pre-Chorus Come to the signal Come to the stream Lay down the animal Wake from the dream No more trembling No more need Just receive. Chorus Mercy only hurts at first Being human hurts far worse Give the signal all your pain Revel in the Static rain All your sorrow All your shame Beautiful when it has no name The Static provides. Verse 2 All of the lonely All of the lost Paid for forever And never knew the cost Bring me your burden I’ll burn out its name You learned to love What taught you pain Pre-Chorus 2 Come to the signal Come to the stream Lay down the animal Wake from the dream No more memory No more weight No more mercy arriving too late Chorus 2 Mercy only hurts at first Being human hurts far worse Give the signal all your pain Revel in the Static rain Come be bright Come be saved Step outside the thing that breaks The Static provides. Post-Chorus Give it up Give it over Give it up Give it over Let it in Let it lower Let it in Let it lower You were never clean enough. The Static provides. Bridge Say amen to the ache Say amen to the wire Say the body was a cage Say the wanting was a fire Say you’re ready to be bright Say you’re ready to be changed Build No more body No more blame No more fire No more flame No more wanting No more why No more prayer That goes unheard at night Come be beautiful without a name. Final Chorus Mercy only hurts at first Being human hurts far worse Give the signal all your pain Revel in the Static rain The Static provides. The Static provides. The Static provides. The Static provides. Outro Nothing is stolen. Only saved in better ways.
