Intro (breathy, distorted)
Don’t answer…
I already know you won’t.
Yeah.
Verse 1
I don’t want you happy, I want you aware,
I want you feeling me when I’m not there.
Every room you walk in, I haunt the air,
Like a thought you hate but keep anyway.
I grind my teeth to the shape of your name,
Say I’m over it—lie straight to my face.
I don’t miss you, nah, I spiral instead,
Build a shrine out of words you never said.
Pre-Chorus
You don’t text back, I read between ghosts,
Every silence screaming what I want most.
I don’t chase—I decay in place,
Still swear I see you in every face.
Chorus
You’re the static in my veins,
The itch I never scratch away.
I don’t need you, I just crave
The way you almost made me sane.
I’d burn my calm, I’d rot my pride,
Just to feel you cross my mind.
You don’t love me—that’s fine,
You live in me, I’ll survive.
Verse 2
I get reckless when the sun goes down,
Talk to your memory like it’s still around.
You don’t owe me shit, I know that’s true,
Still my worst nights spell out you.
I see you smiling like nothing’s wrong,
While I’m biting my tongue to keep moving on.
I don’t want closure, I want collapse,
I want the moment right before the snap.
Bridge (manic, half-sung)
Say I’m crazy, say it slow,
Say my name like you don’t know.
I don’t need you touching me,
Just keep living inside of me.
I don’t heal, I just adapt,
Turn every feeling into relapse.
Chorus
You’re the static in my veins,
The itch I never scratch away.
I don’t need you, I just crave
The way you almost made me sane.
I’d burn my calm, I’d rot my pride,
Just to feel you cross my mind.
You don’t love me—that’s fine,
You live in me, I’ll survive.
Outro (low, cold)
One day this’ll fade, they say,
But tonight I let it stay.
You don’t belong to me—I know,
Still damn if I don’t feel you close.
