Head Noise

My brain hums like a dying wire

Another spark, another fire

Every thought’s a loaded gun

That never hits, just weighs a ton

I smile through the blank expression

Like I’m awake inside a dream

I got head noise — won’t turn down

Every whisper’s just too loud

I’m standing still but spinning out

Head noise — can’t tune it out

Head noise — can’t tune it out

⸻

Coffee’s cold, my hands still shake

Same old mask I always fake

I nod and smile, pretend I care

But I’m not really anywhere

I smile through the blank expression

Like I’m awake inside a dream

I got head noise — won’t turn down

Every whisper’s just too loud

I’m standing still but spinning out

Head noise — can’t tune it out

Head noise — can’t tune it out

⸻

Silence isn’t quiet here

It hums the words I used to hear

If calm exists, I missed the sign

Now I fade between the lines

⸻

I got head noise — it’s all I hear

Static heart and burned-out fear

I’m screaming soft, but no one’s near

Head noise — I disappear

Head noise — I disappear

(Ends with a low reverb hum that sounds like a mind powering down — fading heartbeat drumline.)
