Static in My Ribcage

Backseat

Face lit blue from a cracked screen glow

You type “it’s fine” but I feel that code

Laugh loud, but it tastes like smoke

Mascara wars in the bathroom stall

Mirror talk

Eyes red, but I fake that gloss

Tell my friends that I’m so unbothered

Heart in my throat like a swallowed secret

Every goodbye got a hidden clause (yeah)

Why do I chase what hurts me?

Why do you run when I stay?

Sip on a lie like it won’t burn

Guess I’m addicted to the ache

I got static in my ribcage

Every time you say my name (my name)

You’re a poison that I still crave

Can’t quit, can’t quit, can’t change

If love is just a sick game

You’re the glitch inside my brain (my brain)

I keep fallin’ into your fade

Static, static in my ribcage

Late night

You pull up, headlights on my doubts

You say “I’m here, let’s just talk this out”

Kiss me slow, then you twist that knife

Call it “us,” but it’s barely life

Side notes

All the truths that you never send

Ghosted plans, but we still pretend

I spin out on your every mood swing

Wear your chaos like it’s my best friend (hey)

Why do I chase what hurts me?

Why do you run when I stay?

You’re the bruise that I touch on purpose

Just to prove I feel anything

I got static in my ribcage

Every time you say my name (my name)

You’re a poison that I still crave

Can’t quit, can’t quit, can’t change

If love is just a sick game

You’re the glitch inside my brain (my brain)

I keep fallin’ into your fade

Static, static in my ribcage

Yeah, I talk tough, say I’m done, then I rewind (rewind)

Block your number, then I’m searching it at 3:09

Tell my girls I’m over you, then check your page

Heartbreak on loop like a playlist I can’t change

You say “I’m sorry,” and it rewrites all my rage

Every tear turns to glitter when you’re on stage

But when the crowd fades out and it’s just your face

I’m still shaking, chasing, trapped inside

I got static in my ribcage

Every time you say my name (my name)

You’re a poison that I still crave

Can’t quit, can’t quit, can’t change

If love is just a sick game

You’re the glitch inside my brain (my brain)

I keep fallin’ into your fade

Static, static in my ribcage
