Through the Static

[Intro] [Verse] Stepped outside and left it all behind No notifications pulling at my mind The sky looked bigger than I remembered it Colors so bright they almost felt counterfeit The wind knew things the screen forgot Stories buried in forgotten spots Faces passing by instead of usernames And suddenly the world just didn't look the same Like waking from a dream I'd lived too long Realizing somewhere I got lost [Pre-Chorus] Maybe all this time The signal never died Maybe I was buried underneath The noise inside my mind [Break] [Verse] Remember nights that lasted until dawn Talking face to face with just music on No audience watching every word we said Just living in the moment instead Photographs lived inside our heads Not scattered through a thousand feeds instead We knew each other's stories by heart Not carefully crafted and cropped parts And maybe what we're chasing isn't new Maybe it's the thing we always knew The feeling that we understand When the digital world grows bland [Pre-Chorus] Maybe all this time The signal never died Maybe we just forgot What it felt like to be alive [Chorus] I can hear you through the static Through the noise, through the panic Through the endless rush of everything Trapped in digital suffering I can hear you through the static Like a beacon inside the traffic Like a song I've been missing all along Through the static we move on... [Musical interlude] [Bridge] Put it down Walk away The world is still waiting Look around Hear the sound Of a life worth saving The voices are closer Than they ever seemed On the other side of every screen [Verse] Now the static fades into the background hum And for the first time in years I don't need to run The conversations feel a little deeper now The silence feels less lonely somehow Friends become more than profile names Laughter sounds different when it's not delayed And every moment starts to feel real again Like finding my way back to where I've been The world was never waiting on a post It was waiting for us to come back home [Break] [Final Chorus] I can hear you through the static Through the noise, through the panic Through the endless rush of everything Trapped in digital suffering I can hear you through the static Like a beacon inside the traffic Like a song I've been missing all along I can hear you through the static Through the chaos and the damage Through the walls we built between ourselves I can hear you through the static And for the first time I believe it We are not alone A new day has finally dawned [Outro- guitars fade out]
