[Intro – spoken/soft]
I hear the silence breathing in the dark,
like a warning… like a mark.
[Verse 1 – Solo (A or B)]
I used to trust the light inside your hands
But every promise turned to broken plans
I watched you smile while I was turning numb
Now I don’t recognize who I’ve become
I kept my storm behind a pretty face
I swallowed fire just to keep the peace
But I’m done dying quietly in place
I want my soul back — piece by piece
[Pre-Chorus – Call & Response (A/B beliebig)]
(A or B) You built a throne from what you stole
(A or B) You fed on secrets in my bones
(A or B) I was the night you tried to own
(A or B) Now I’m the spark you can’t control
[Chorus – BOTH UNISON]
BOTH:
This is my static heart, breaking the chains
A storm in my lungs, lightning in my veins
You don’t get to haunt me, you don’t get my pain
I rise from the ashes, again and again
This is my static heart, louder than fear
A scream in the dark, I’m still standing here
You don’t get to silence what you couldn’t keep
I’m wide awake now — you don’t get to sleep
[Verse 2 – Solo (A or B)]
You called it love, but it was just control
A slow addiction eating up my soul
I held on tight while you let go with ease
Now I breathe truth like I breathe disease
I’m not your mercy, I’m not your mistake
I’m not the wreckage you can rearrange
I learned to burn for my own sake
And I won’t apologize for change
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Call & Response (A/B beliebig)]
(A or B) You wanted silence — here’s the sound
(A or B) You wanted weak — I’m battlebound
(A or B) You tried to bury me in doubt
(A or B) Now watch me crawl my way out
[Chorus – BOTH UNISON]
BOTH:
This is my static heart, breaking the chains
A storm in my lungs, lightning in my veins
You don’t get to haunt me, you don’t get my pain
I rise from the ashes, again and again
This is my static heart, louder than fear
A scream in the dark, I’m still standing here
You don’t get to silence what you couldn’t keep
I’m wide awake now — you don’t get to sleep
[Bridge – Hybrid (A/B wechseln, aber egal wer)]
(A or B) I bled devotion
(A or B) You called it weakness
(A or B) I fed your hunger
(A or B) Now I feed my freedom
(A or B) Touch the voltage
(A or B) Feel it rising
(A or B) I’m not your shadow
(A or B) I’m the horizon
BOTH (layered, escalating):
I won’t go quiet — I won’t go cold
I won’t stay broken — I won’t be sold
I won’t go quiet — I won’t go cold
I won’t stay broken — I won’t be owned
[Final Chorus – BOTH UNISON (bigger, epic)]
BOTH:
This is my static heart, breaking the chains
A storm in my lungs, lightning in my veins
You don’t get to haunt me, you don’t get my pain
I rise from the ashes, again and again
This is my static heart, louder than fear
A scream in the dark, I’m still standing here
You don’t get to silence what you couldn’t keep
I’m wide awake now — you don’t get to sleep
[Outro – BOTH]
Static heart…
Still beating.
Still burning.
Still free.
