Static inside

[Verse 1]
I wake up tired of the same damn skin
Mirror shows a stranger I’m trapped within
Every word I say just breaks again
Like I’m built to lose, like I can’t pretend

I hear their voices in the back of my head
Every “you should’ve” stacked with regret
I try to move but I stay in place
Paralyzed by the mess I’ve made

I know I’m the reason it all falls apart
Every bridge I touch just burns in the dark

[Chorus]
I’m hollow, I’m nothing, just static inside
A ghost in my own life with nowhere to hide
I push everyone away then I wonder why
I’m alone in the wreckage of everything I try

I’m broken, I know it, I see it so clear
A voice in my head says “you don’t belong here”
If love was a test then I failed every time
I’m hollow, I’m nothing… just static inside

[Verse 2]
I see their faces and I feel the weight
Like I’m already gone but it’s not too late
They deserve better than what I’ve been
But I don’t know how to let them in

I try to change but I lose the fight
Same old habits every single night
Swear I’ll fix it, swear I’ll try
Then I watch it all collapse in time

I hate who I am but I can’t let go
I’m stuck in a loop I already know

[Chorus]
I’m hollow, I’m nothing, just static inside
A ghost in my own life with nowhere to hide
I push everyone away then I wonder why
I’m alone in the wreckage of everything I try

I’m broken, I know it, I see it so clear
A voice in my head says “you don’t belong here”
If love was a test then I failed every time
I’m hollow, I’m nothing… just static inside

[Bridge]
I’M THE PROBLEM
I KNOW THAT
EVERY PROMISE TURNS TO COMBAT

CAN’T ESCAPE WHAT I CREATE
EVERY LOVE I CORRUPT INTO HATE

LOOK AT ME
JUST A FRAUD
TRYING HARD BUT IT’S NEVER ENOUGH

I’M STILL HERE
BUT I’M GONE
EVERY RIGHT TURN I MAKE IS WRONG

[Outro]
If I disappeared would it all feel right?
Would the silence finally fix their lives?
Or am I just too far gone to save…

I’m hollow, I’m nothing, just static inside
But something still screams that I’m not done trying
Buried in failure, still gasping for light
Maybe there’s something still worth the fight

I’m broken, I know it, but I’m still here
Even if drowning in doubt and fear
If love’s out of reach, I’ll still climb
Through the static… I’ll find a sign
