Static Skin

The mirror hums with vacant lies

Another ghost behind my eyes

Paper smile, electric veins

Tearing out the cables of my name

Every scar is code I can’t erase

But I’m learning to love the interface

I’m shedding this static skin

Let the noise come pouring in

I won’t fade to white again

I’m alive beneath the sin

Drown the quiet, make it spin

Yeah, I’m shedding this static skin

⸻

Pulse is skipping — veins hum low

I’m half-alive, half-radio

All the silence starts to scream

Guess I’ve been rebooting my dreams

Every scar is code I can’t erase

But I’m learning to love the interface

I’m shedding this static skin

Let the noise come pouring in

I won’t fade to white again

I’m alive beneath the sin

Drown the quiet, make it spin

Yeah, I’m shedding this static skin

⸻

Clench my heart ‘til it burns

I’m not broken —but it hurts

If this is madness, let it play

I’ll find rhythm in the fray

⸻

I’m shedding this static skin

Let the static crawl within

I won’t fade — I’ll scream instead

I’m alive, not born to die

Let the ashes testify

Yeah, I’m shedding this static skin

(Outro — feedback distortion fading out, heartbeat drumline slows to silence.)
