STATIC SAINTS

[Intro] [radio static, detuned choir, sharp guitar harmonics] They speak in perfect little phrases. [Verse] [rapid rap vocal, tight drums, mechanical bass] Static saints with polished teeth, selling comfort, selling sleep. They say "be grateful, don't complain," while they never felt this weight. [Pre-Chorus] [snare build, vocal becomes strained] I tried to fit inside their frame, but every piece of me caught flame. [Chorus] [anthemic screamed vocal, wide gang vocals] I DON'T WANT YOUR HALO! I DON'T WANT YOUR LIES! I'D RATHER BE A WRECK THAN LIVE WITH EMPTY EYES! Let the signal burn, let the towers fall — I won't kneel down just to make you tall! [Bridge] [instruments drop to bass and vocal] I was never made for silence. [Final Chorus] [double-time drums, layered guitars] I DON'T WANT YOUR HALO! I'M TAKING BACK MY LIFE! [Outro] [static abruptly cuts][Intro] [whispered male vocal, distant heartbeat, reversed piano, glitching radio static] I hear the walls breathing, they’re calling out my name. [Verse] [fast tense rap delivery, sparse sub bass, stomping drums] Every stare is a blade, every room is too small, I carry all the noise of the world through it all. Smile on my face but my head’s caving in, I fight all the shadows and they multiply again. [Pre-Chorus] [drums build, distorted bass rises] When I fall, I fall deep, when I burn, I lose sleep. [Chorus] [huge melodic screamed vocal, wide guitars] I’M NOT BROKEN — I’VE JUST BEEN ALONE TOO LONG! TEAR THE WINDOWS OPEN, LET THE STORM COME ON! When the darkness calls my name, I will scream above the flame: I’m not your victim, I’M STARTING AGAIN! [Breakdown] [violent half-time drums, guttural shouts] BREAK THE CAGE! I’M STILL HERE! [Outro] [whispered vocal] I’m starting again.
