"Ghost in the Static" Drum & Bass / 174 BPM / Female vocals, sub-heavy, eerie & experimental [Intro – Whispered, glitchy vocal fx] Static on the wire... Nobody hears me... Am I even here? [Verse 1 – Half-sung, hollow] Walk through rooms where faces blur Every word I speak gets turned Into something I never said Conversations hang like dead Air between us, cold and thin I'm the shadow they let in Nod and smile, they see a ghost I’m a language no one knows [Pre-Drop – Building tension, breathing samples] Need a spark to feel alive Need a pill to come outside Say my name and watch it twist Every time I don’t exist [Drop 1 – Vocal chops, deep Reese bass] Outsider Outsider Drowning in the sub, no one finds her Outsider Outsider Spinning down where the lights blind her [Verse 2 – More frantic, fragmented] 3am, the ceiling breathes Count the cracks, forget to leave Bottle’s empty, mind’s a leak Every fix just makes me weak They say "just talk" but talk’s a knife Cuts my tongue, rewrites my life Doctor's smile, mother's tears Echo back for wasted years [Breakdown – Eerie pads, distant vocals] I’m not lost, I’m misread Every word in red Misread Misread Watch me disappear... [Pre-Drop 2 – Rising, heartbeat kick] Closer to the edge now Heavier, my head now Pull me up? They let go So I let go... [Drop 2 – Heavier, distorted bass, vocal screams processed] Downward Downward Life's a snare that keeps me bound, word Downward Downward Till the silence is the only sound, heard [Bridge – Spoken, vinyl crackle] Is this the part where I get saved? Or the part where I just fade? Needles, numbers, empty praise All dissolve in bass decay [Final Drop – Stripped, then explosive] Outsider... in the noise Misunderstood... without a voice Addicted to the void Destroyed By the... downward... spiral... [Outro – Whisper, reverb tail] Static on the wire... Nobody hears me... Still here?
