BYA, Modern Rock, Title Song: “When the Static Learns to Breathe”

[Verse 1] I wore your silence like a second skin Neon nights, your name on my lips again Talking in my sleep, begging shadows to stay Love in a cage, but the key walked away [Pre-Chorus] There’s a box in my chest, it’s humming your truth Rust and desire wrapped in broken youth I scream through velvet, I whisper through flame Every goodbye still answers your name [Chorus] Please don’t leave me in the echo of us Where passion turns to rust, but still burns like lust I don’t love you—God, I lie when I try ‘Cause even my scars want you to survive [Verse 2] Get the funk out of my blood, but it dances back Heartbeat syncs with the cracks in my past Bang a gong in my ribs, let the ghosts come alive Romance tastes sweetest when it barely survives [Pre-Chorus 2] Pity and mercy sleep under my tongue I learned how to ache before I was young This love’s a riot dressed up as prayer I touch the wound just to know you were there [Chorus] Please don’t leave me in the echo of us Where the truth wears makeup and calls it trust I don’t love you—say it slow, let it bleed Even my demons are down on their knees [Bridge] Between sweat and sorrow, devotion and sin I lost myself just to let you win If this is dancing, then let it hurt We spin like politics in a cheap black shirt [Chorus] Please don’t leave me in the echo of us Where passion turns to rust, but still burns like lust I don’t love you—God, I lie when I try ‘Cause even my scars want you to survive [Final Chorus - Half-time] Please don’t leave me—hear the tremor inside I’m a man in the box where your memory hides I don’t love you… but I never learned how To stop loving you—especially now [Outro] When the static learns to breathe It sounds like you leaving me
