[Intro — distorted guitar / amp hum]
Turn it up.
I wanna hear the noise.
If I can't hear myself think,
maybe I won't hear your voice.
[Verse 1]
You left your fingerprints inside my head,
Every word you said still tastes like lead.
I tried to bury everything you broke,
But every fucking memory starts to smoke.
You made me feel like I was something wrong,
Then disappeared like I was never there.
Now every room is screaming your name,
And I’m so fucking tired of playing fair.
[Pre-Chorus]
I ripped your pictures from the wall,
Watched every piece of us dissolve.
But underneath the silence—
[Chorus — screamed]
THERE’S STATIC IN STEREO!
YOUR VOICE WON’T LET ME GO!
I’m drowning in the fucking noise,
You killed the man behind my voice.
STATIC IN STEREO!
I HEAR YOU EVERYWHERE I GO!
If this is what you left behind,
Then I hope you fucking haunt my mind!
[Verse 2]
I hate the way you still feel close,
Like a ghost I never chose.
I hate the nights I can't forget,
I hate myself for wanting you yet.
You took the best parts of me away,
Then acted like I was the one to blame.
Now I wear my anger like a second skin,
And every scar reminds me where you've been.
[Pre-Chorus]
So turn the speakers to the red,
Let the feedback fill my head.
If I can't escape the past—
[Chorus — heavier]
THERE’S STATIC IN STEREO!
YOUR VOICE WON’T LET ME GO!
I’m drowning in the fucking noise,
You killed the man behind my voice.
STATIC IN STEREO!
I HEAR YOU EVERYWHERE I GO!
I tried to bury what we were,
But every fucking wound still burns!
[Bridge — quiet, distorted]
Maybe I'm angry.
Maybe I'm broken.
Maybe the things you said
were never meant to be spoken.
Maybe I miss you.
Maybe I don't.
Maybe I'm screaming
because I know
you'll never know.
[Breakdown — screamed]
FUCK YOUR MEMORY!
FUCK WHAT YOU LEFT!
FUCK EVERY NIGHT
I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD!
[Final Chorus — full distortion]
THERE’S STATIC IN STEREO!
NOWHERE LEFT TO GO!
I’m screaming through the feedback,
trying to find the person I used to know!
STATIC IN STEREO!
LET THE WHOLE FUCKING THING EXPLODE!
If you’re still living in my head—
TURN THE STATIC UP
UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT!
[Outro — feedback / tape hiss]
Can you hear me?
...Can you hear me?
Nothing but static.
Nothing but static.
