[Verse 1 – Singer A] There’s a hum beneath my ribs I can’t explain, Like a signal cutting out in the middle of the rain, I’ve been walking through the days like a ghost in my skin, Trying not to notice all the noise creeping in. [Verse 1 – Singer B] I hear it when you breathe, when you’re trying not to shake, All the words you never say start to rattle and break, You think you’re hiding well but you’re flickering through, Like a dying streetlight trying to tell the truth. [Pre‑Chorus – A & B, staggered] A: I keep pretending I’m steady. B: But I can see you’re not. A: I’ve been holding it together. B: But the seams are shot. [Chorus – Both] There’s static in my chest where the quiet used to be, Every heartbeat buzzing like it’s trying to warn me, I’ve been drowning out the truth but it’s getting too loud, There’s static in my chest and it’s breaking through now. [Verse 2 – Singer A] I’ve been pacing through the nights like I’m waiting for a sign, But the only thing I hear is the tremble in my mind, I keep telling myself it’s nothing, just a phase, But the static keeps building like a storm in the haze. [Verse 2 – Singer B] You don’t have to hide the shaking or the fear in your voice, You don’t have to carry every burden like a choice, I’ve been right here listening to the cracks in your tone, You don’t have to face the static on your own. [Pre‑Chorus – A & B, overlapping] A: I don’t know how to say it. B: You don’t have to yet. A: I’m afraid if I speak it— B: It’ll break what’s left. [Chorus – Both] There’s static in my chest where the quiet used to be, Every heartbeat buzzing like it’s trying to warn me, I’ve been drowning out the truth but it’s getting too loud, There’s static in my chest and it’s breaking through now. [Bridge – Call & Response] A: I’ve been fading in the background. B: I’ve been watching you disappear. A: I don’t know how to come back. B: Then let me pull you near. Both: We can face the noise together even if it’s unclear. [Final Chorus – Both, bigger, layered] There’s static in my chest where the quiet used to be, Every heartbeat buzzing like it’s begging to be free, I’ve been drowning out the truth but it’s getting too loud, There’s static in my chest and it’s breaking through now. [Outro – Singer A, soft] I hear it calling. [Outro – Singer B, soft] I’m not letting you fall.
