Static In My Chest

I've been talking to the shadows in the back of my mind

Broken mirrors, dead signals, running out of time

Every night's a warzone, every breath feels fake

Smile for the world while my hands still shake

These walls know secrets I don't wanna confess

Drowning in silence with a hurricane chest

Looking for a light through the smoke in my head

Trying not to become everything I dread

I'm sick of wearing scars like they're my skin

Sick of losing fights I never should've been in

I'm screaming through the static in my chest

Trying to outrun the chaos in my head

Buried alive but I'm not dead yet

No — I'm not dead yet

If hope's a spark, then strike me again

I've walked through fire, let the flames come in

You can break my bones, you can take your shot

But I'm still here…

And I'm not giving up

Heavy eyes, cold room, another sleepless night

Trying to find a reason I can still survive

The devil on my shoulder knows my name too well

Whispers “welcome home” when I'm going through hell

But something in me still refuses to drown

Even with the weight of the whole world pulling down

Maybe I'm damaged, maybe I'm bruised

But pain ain't the thing that's gonna make me lose

I won't let darkness write my ending

My hands are shaking — but I'm still standing

I'm screaming through the static in my chest

Trying to outrun the chaos in my head

Buried alive but I'm not dead yet

NO — I'M NOT DEAD YET

If hope's a spark, then strike me again

I've walked through fire, let the flames come in

You can break my bones, you can take your shot

But I'm still here…

And I'm not giving up

(ONE! TWO! — BLEGH!)

I was built from the wreckage

Raised by the pressure

You thought I'd break?

I only get better

Drag me through hell — I'll crawl through flames

I lost myself…

BUT I FOUND MY NAME

I'm screaming through the static in my chest

But the silence doesn't own me yet

I found a fire underneath the fear

And for the first time… I can see it clear

If hope's a spark, I'll turn it to a flame

I'm done letting pain decide my name

The dark still calls — but I've changed the script

I'm still here…

I survived this.
