Static Between Us

Neon lights flicker through the rain...

Thought I knew your name...

Guess I only knew the mask.

We built our days on borrowed trust,

Laughing loud through all the dust.

If I could rewind yesterday,

I'd never let you in my way.

Now every memory feels stained,

Every smile replaced with shame.

The truth hit harder than the fall,

Now I don't recognize you at all.

I can't defend what can't be saved,

Some lines you cross can't be erased.

The silence screams louder than before...

You're not the friend I knew anymore.

You're just static in my soul,

A broken signal, out of control.

I carried your name like it meant something,

Now it only echoes with nothing.

Burn the pictures, fade the light,

Leave your shadow in the night.

I won't carry your disgrace—

Don't speak my name, don't show your face.

Yeah...

Never thought I'd be the one explaining why you're gone,

Every headline hits different when your name is on.

Now people ask me questions, I don't know what to say,

'Cause the truth cuts deeper every single day.

Thought loyalty was something we both understood,

Guess I saw the version of you acting good.

Now I'm looking back, every memory feels fake,

How much of our friendship was a lie you'd make?

Can't stand what you chose to become,

You threw away everything for... what?

Now I'm left cleaning up the mess you made,

While your own reflection starts to fade.

Cold blue lights...

Empty streets...

Some endings don't deserve a goodbye.

Only distance.

You're just static in my soul,

A shattered record I can't control.

The person I believed is gone,

And I refuse to carry on...

Not because I hate your name,

But because you'll never be the same.

Some choices break more than the law—

They break every reason I called you "bro."

Neon fades...

Silence stays...

Some friendships don't end with a fight...

They end when the truth finally turns on the light.
