⚡️Static in the System ⚡️

[Lyrics] Wake up, five A.M., the ceiling stares back Another loop on replay, the color fades to black Coffee, keys, the same crack on the sidewalk A thousand faces pass, but no one dares to talk I swipe, I click, I nod, I smile, I fake it The gears inside my skull – they’re grinding, but I shake it I carry the weight of a hundred little screens And the ghost of who I was, somewhere between. And I feel it rising, the scream behind the eyes A software made of flesh, running out of lies We’re all just signals in a noisy noise machine So let me turn the volume up and break the routine. Caught in the static of the everyday I’m screaming loud, but the words dissolve away Give me a spark in the circuits of the same Let me feel something – even rage, even pain Caught in the static, we’re lost in the grid But I won’t let the noise tell me who I am hid I’m breaking the pattern, I’m leaving the screen This is the static – and I am the machine. The inbox floods, the red dots multiply Every little ping says, “You better fly” I scroll through the lives of strangers who shine While my own reflection learns to lie The boss wants more, the clock wants slower The mirror asks, “Is this the face of a soldier?” Dinner alone, TV on mute I’m four percent alive, ninety-six in pursuit. And I feel it breaking – the walls begin to hum A pressure in my chest, a war that’s overdue We’re all just echoes in a canyon made of steel So let me burn the blueprint and make it real. Caught in the static of the everyday I’m screaming loud, but the words dissolve away Give me a spark in the circuits of the same Let me feel something – even rage, even pain Caught in the static, we’re lost in the grid But I won’t let the noise tell me who I am hid I’m breaking the pattern, I’m leaving the screen This is the static – and I am the machine. And when the silence comes at night I hear a signal, faint and white It says: “You are not the data. You are not the rush. You are not the thousand things they want you to crush.” Beneath the static lives a humming wire A seed of fire from the dying empire. Caught in the static – I’m standing tall Every broken circuit, I’ll build them all Give me the noise, give me the grind I’ll turn the static into a lifeline Caught in the static, we’re not alone Every heart is a frequency, every bone is a tone I’m breaking the pattern, I’m making the scene I am the static – wake up, it’s the dream. Wake up, five A.M.... the ceiling stares back....
