[Verse 1]
Static phone glow
3 a.m. scroll
Nothing hits
Thumbs get tired
Same four chords
Same old scripts
Skip skip skip
Every track just drops off cliffs
Clicking through ghosts
Of the songs I used to live in
[Pre-Chorus]
All this noise feels hollow
Candy glass and glitter smoke
Every chorus borrowed
Every promise pre-broke
[Chorus]
Dead air anthems
Nothing on but the humming dark
Turn it up and it stays so empty
Dead air anthems
I’m screaming just to hear a spark
In the quiet
Every echo bends me
Dead air anthems
[Verse 2]
Barren playlist
Every hook’s a painted grin
Drums hit perfect
But they never break my skin
Worn-out slogans
Dressed up like a sacred hymn
Turn the volume
All I feel is volume thin
[Pre-Chorus]
How’d it all get weightless?
Glossy
Polished
Paper bones
I’m starving for the shapeless
For a voice that cracks like stone
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Silence
Speak up
Cut through this sugar rust
Give me something ugly
Something I can trust
[build with toms and dissonant guitars]
Let the world fall out of tune
Let the floorboards take the groove
If there’s nothing left to play
I’ll make war drums from this room
[Chorus]
