Static In My Head

Intro (Spoken, low-pass filter)
Yeah…
Some people sleep at night
Some of us negotiate with our thoughts
Every night

Verse 1
Static in my head, I can’t mute the past
Every smile learned when you grew up fast
Trust came broken, hope came late
Learned how to starve just to feel okay

Mama said pray but the ceiling stayed still
So I learned how to bleed with a stomach of will
Every night felt heavy, every dream felt thin
I was fighting wars I was never meant to win

Pre-Hook
If I pause too long, I start hearing doubt
So I stay moving just to drown it out

Hook
Static in my head, it won’t let me sleep
Every promise broke left a scar that deep
If I look too long, I might lose my way
So I run from the noise till I find my faith

Static in my head, but I’m still alive
Still chasing the truth through the pressure and lies
If I fall tonight, let the silence say
I was built from the noise, I survived the pain

Verse 2
Everybody loud when you almost made it
Real quiet when you feeling faded
They love the shine, hate the storm it took
Never read the chapters, just the cover look

I learned restraint from empty rooms
Learned patience watching others bloom
Still hear voices saying I ain’t enough
But fear died first when the nights got rough

Verse 3 (slower cadence)
I remember nights staring at the wall
Asking God if He hearing me at all
Silence answered louder than fear
So I learned how to stand when nobody near

I carried dreams in a cracked chest
Smiled through pain like a strength test
If healing had a sound, it’d be breath
Caught between survival and death

Counting heartbeats like borrowed time
Making peace with the edge I’m on
Didn’t wanna live, wouldn’t let go
So I stayed right here in between both


Bridge (Half-time, melodic)
If I go quiet, it’s me staying sane
Some storms you don’t post, you just ride through rain
If I seem distant, don’t take it wrong
I’m learning how to last, not just go strong

Break (Instrumental 8 bars)
(Static crackle / heart-beat sub bass)

Final Hook (Layered + Ad-libs)
Static in my head, yeah it still come back
But it don’t control the path I’m on now
Static in my head, but I learned the sound
Turned chaos into grounding

Outro (Spoken / fading)
Still breathing
Still here
Still listening to the noise…
But I ain’t answering it no more
