Whispers In The Static

I still hear the sirens

Echo through my head

Every time I close my eyes

I see the blood instead

Everybody says

“It wasn’t all your fault”

But their voices fade away

When the shadows start to talk

I tried to be a hero

Like the stories always said

But every step I’m taking now

Feels haunted by the dead

⸻

And every night

The walls grow colder

Every whisper pulls me under

⸻

I hear whispers in the static

Calling out my name

Telling me I’m dangerous

That I’ll never be the same

And I’m tired of pretending

That I’m stronger than I feel

When the darkness keeps on asking

If the monster in me’s real

So if I disappear tonight

Into the storm above the city lights

Will anybody fight to bring me home…

Or let me go?

⸻

California burning

Purple skies and rain

Everybody’s looking at me

Like I’m the one to blame

I can feel her in my mind now

Moving underneath my skin

Every time I try to fight her

She just pulls me back again

And Winston says I’m hurting

Not broken beyond repair

But it’s hard to believe somebody

When Willow’s everywhere

⸻

I don’t wanna lose myself

I don’t wanna fade away

I don’t wanna become

The thing we’re trying to save

⸻

I hear whispers in the static

Breaking through my soul

Every ghost I’ve ever captured

Trying to pull me down below

And I know the world is falling

I can see it in the sky

But if saving everyone means losing me

Then maybe that’s alright…

⸻

If my grandfather could see me now

Would he still believe?

Or would he look away

The same way I do in the mirror?

(faint whisper)

“Phoebe…”

⸻

I hear whispers in the static

But I’m screaming through the noise

And somewhere underneath the fear

I still hear my own voice

So if the whole world’s ending

And the darkness takes the sky

Then let them know the Ghostbusters

Were never meant to die

⸻

(faint radio static)

WHISPER (V.O.)

“…Soon everything ends…”

(proton pack powering on)

PHOEBE (softly)

“No… not today.”
