[Intro] [distorted guitar feedback, ambient synth pads] [vocalizing] (Ah, oh) [drum fill, full band enters with heavy syncopated riff] [Verse 1] [melodic male vocals, bass and drums driving] Listen Welcome to the wreckage of the things I left behind A prisoner inside the twisting corners of my mind Every step I take is heavy, dragging chains across the floor Looking for an exit but I cannot find the door [vocals become more aggressive] The pressure's building up like a fire in the chest Put the silence to the test, never giving it a rest Shouting at the walls but the walls just bleed And I'm starting to become everything I don't need [scream] I can't escape! [Chorus] [layered screaming vocals, wall of distorted guitars] I feel the static in my veins It's driving me insane I can't escape the pain Washing over me like rain I'm breaking down the walls to find who I became Who I became! Screaming at the shadows just to numb the shame It's static in my veins [Verse 2] [half-time drum feel, palm-muted guitar riff] Focus gotta keep it steady lock it in the sight Running from the darkness but I'm losing all the light Every promise that was broken echoes louder than a gun Nowhere left to hide and there is nowhere left to run You say you know the feeling but you don't know where I've been Underneath the surface crawling deep within the skin It's a parasitic thought yeah it's eating at the soul Losing all control, digging deeper in the hole [vocal harmony] (Losing all control) [Chorus] [full intensity, double-bass drumming] I feel the static in my veins It's driving me insane I can't escape the pain Washing over me like rain I'm breaking down the walls to find who I became Who I became! Screaming at the shadows just to numb the shame It's static in my veins [Bridge] [guitars drop to clean tone with delay, melodic singing] I tried to be everything you wanted me to be I tried to keep it in, I tried to set it free The silence is so loud [crescendo] The silence is so loud! [aggressive screaming] Shut up! Shut up! Get out of my head! Shut up! Shut up! I wish I was dead! Go away! [Chorus] [maximum volume, heavy crash cymbals] I feel the static in my veins It's driving me insane I can't escape the pain Washing over me like rain I'm breaking down the walls to find who I became Who I became! Screaming at the shadows just to numb the shame It's static in my veins [Outro] [guitars sustain, drums slow down] Just static in my veins Just static in my veins [music fades to ambient synth and feedback]
