Static Between Us

[Verse 1]  
You left a taste I can’t erase  
Like shattered glass I still embrace  
Every word you swore was truth  
Now echoes like a noose  

I see your shadow in the frame  
But it don’t hit me the same  
You tried to brand me with your scars  
But I know who you are  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I let you pull me under  
Felt the weight of your thunder  
But I won’t drown in you  

[Chorus]  
I’m cutting through the static between us  
All the noise, all the pain—you can keep it  
I was lost in the dark you created  
Now I see it—I don’t need it  

Yeah, I bled for every lie you told  
Turned that hate into something I control  
And out of nowhere, like a spark in the night  
A stranger showed me I’m still alive  

[Verse 2]  
Your voice still lives inside my head  
But it’s fading with every step  
You built me up just to collapse  
Now I’m done with that  

I felt your grip around my throat  
Every promise that you broke  
But I found air beyond your reach  
Now I can finally breathe  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I hear the silence breaking  
Feel my whole world shaking  
But I won’t fall for you  

[Chorus]  
I’m cutting through the static between us  
All the noise, all the pain—you can keep it  
I was lost in the dark you created  
Now I see it—I don’t need it  

Yeah, I bled for every lie you told  
Turned that hate into something I control  
And out of nowhere, like a voice in the night  
A stranger showed me I’m still alive  

[Bridge] (melodic → heavy build)  
I was sinking in your shadow  
Every second felt so hollow  
Then a light cut through the gray  
Didn’t ask me to stay  

They just saw me for me  
Not who you made me be  
And for the first time in forever  
I don’t feel so empty  

[Breakdown] (heavy, rhythmic)  
You don’t get to define me  
You don’t get to confine me  
All your words—they rewind me  
But they’ll never remind me who I was  

I’m breaking every chain now  
I’m screaming through the pain now  
You lost your hold, I found my way  
There’s nothing left to say  

[Final Chorus] (big, layered)  
I’m cutting through the static between us  
All the noise, all the pain—you can keep it  
I was buried in the dark you created  
Now I beat it—I defeated it  

Yeah, I bled but I’m not who I was  
Turned your hate into fuel in my blood  
And out of nowhere, like a fire in the night  
A stranger showed me I’m still alive  

[Outro] (soft, atmospheric)  
I hear your voice, but it’s fading out  
Lost in the silence I found  
And in the space you left behind  
I found a reason not to rewind
