Lyrics: Jax Latour Copyright 2024 [Intro] [Verse 1] Midnight static crawls my spine Teeth marks stain this bottle of wine Tiny wings won’t leave me be They scratch my thoughts relentlessly Some nights feel wrapped in cellophane Twisted logic keeps me insane My fingers twitch to phantom beats As sidewalk cracks eat city streets [Pre-Chorus] Numb knuckles grip the bathroom sink While mirror-me refuses to blink The pulse behind my eyeballs screams That nothing breaks like broken dreams [Chorus 1] Hey, little parasites, this game is done You thought you’d won, but I’ve just begun Rip the bandage, spill the truth I’m not the prey you thought you’d use Cut the strings and let them fall This time I won’t answer your call Static buzzing, but I’m ahead The path I choose won’t leave me dead (It won’t leave me dead...) [Verse 2] Chipped nail polish, a fading clue Still more honest than the lies you drew Dealt me cards that wouldn’t play Then asked me to dance anyway Remember when we chased the moon? It wasn’t ours, and neither were you Now matchstick dreams burn out in time And chaos twists through every rhyme [Chorus 2] Hey, buzzing ghosts, I’ve heard enough The sugar’s melted, the edges rough Shed the poison, draw the line Your venom won’t sink into mine Drop the act; it’s all pretend I’ve got my story to defend Static rushes, but I’m still here Carving out what feels sincere (What feels sincere...) [Bridge] Vinyl skips, but it doesn’t stop (Reset the groove) Glitter fades, the signal drops (Break through the noise) The rhythm pulses, clean and raw (It’s mine to hold) Until the echoes fill it all [Final Verse] Morning breaks like shattered glass Your wings dissolve in summer grass I’ve got fire under my skin A matchbook smile, a blaze within The dance floor’s burning anyway So I’ll just walk the other way Past empty stages, broken drums To where the real music comes [Finish] [Fade Outro]
