Verse 1
I keep my secrets in a paper cup
Sip them slow till they dry me up
Mirror talks but it don’t say much
Just a ghost with a nervous touch
I wear the stain like a second skin
Every loss feels like a win
Cheap confessions, vending machine
Spit me out something in between
Pre-Chorus
I tried to quit you in my sleep
But you were buried way too deep
Chorus
Static veins, I’m buzzing loud
Scream my name into the crowd
I was lost but now I see
You don’t get to swallow me
Break my bones, I’ll rearrange
Every scar becomes a change
I’m not clean but I’m not chained
I cut the wire from my brain
Verse 2
Sticky floors and a plastic grin
Everybody wants to let me in
But I don’t fit in their perfect frame
Just a spark looking for a flame
I sold my days for a little peace
Bought them back with anxiety
Every high was a sinking ship
Every truth on a liar’s lip
Pre-Chorus
You kept me small, you kept me weak
But I’m louder when I’m incomplete
Chorus
Static veins, I’m buzzing loud
Scream my name into the crowd
I was lost but now I see
You don’t get to swallow me
Break my bones, I’ll rearrange
Every scar becomes a change
I’m not clean but I’m not chained
I cut the wire from my brain
Bridge (soft, almost whispered)
Peel it back, the velvet lie
Watch it twitch, but let it die
I don’t need your lullaby
I don’t need to wonder why
Final Chorus (loud, messy, breaking apart)
Static veins, I’m coming down
Burn the halo, lose the crown
I was numb but now I bleed
And that’s enough to make me free
Break the loop, disrupt the stain
Dance a little in the pain
I’m not fixed but I have changed
I cut the wire… I cut the—
Outro (fading, fragmented)
Static… static…
Still here… still strange…
