Static Dreams

[Verse 1]
I went back to love in 2D light,
Safer in pixels than real life.
Real stories feel fake anyway,
So I kiss the air where you used to stay.
I tried to paint your face as mine,
But you showed up twisted in my mind.
You turned into another fear.
I can’t let you live in here.
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna dream of a house by the sea.
You and me breaking quietly.
I don’t wanna drown in make-believe,
But I keep lying to me.
I don’t wanna feel you breathe…
But you still breathe in me.
[Verse 2]
You moved ahead like nothing broke,
I’m stalled out, engine full of smoke.
Heart crashed hard against the wall,
Future bleeding down the hall.
I don’t see it anymore.
I don’t reach for light for sure.
I’m not scared — I’m stone inside.
Just this weight I cannot hide.
[Bridge]
Maybe you were just a glitch.
Maybe love was counterfeit.
If I mute you in my head…
Will the silence feel less dead?
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna dream of a house by the sea.
You and me breaking quietly.
I don’t wanna drown in make-believe,
But I keep lying to me.
[Outro]
So I’ll kiss the nothing one last time.
Let it echo.
Then decline.

Dark minimal, canaletta voice deep whispered, cold, few words but sharp.
