Static in my chest

[Intro – soft piano, distant reverb]
(whispered)
It went quiet…
Why did it go quiet?

[Verse 1 – piano + light acoustic guitar]
I used to wake up in a burning room
Heartbeat louder than the sun
Every thought was a loaded gun
Now it’s silent — and I feel none


The panic left without a sound
Didn’t break the door, didn’t knock me down
Just took the color from the ground
Left me floating, not touching ground

[Pre-Chorus – piano builds, subtle glitch textures creeping in]
It’s not peace, it’s not relief
It’s not comfort underneath
It’s a freezer in my veins
No thunder, no rain

(soft layered vocal:)
I can’t feel my name…

[DROP – Hyperpop Chorus: punchy drums, distorted bass, chopped vocals]
Where is the darkness when I’m tired of the light?
Where is the light when I vanish at night?
Stars don’t shine when the sky turns fake
I scream in my head but my chest won’t break

I don’t feel love, I don’t feel pain
Auto-tuned tears in the acid rain
Turn me up till I feel again
Static, static in my chest

(Glitch vocal repeat:)
Feel again — gain — gain — gain —

[Verse 2 – strip back to acoustic + filtered beat pulse]
I’ve been drunk just to feel the floor
Just to know my body’s mine
Like a balloon cut loose from a wire
Drifting past the warning signs

I’m in love even if it bleeds
I don’t trust but I still believe
I’m waiting for anxiety
To crash back into me

[Pre-Chorus – tension build, high synth swelling]
It’s urgency with no display
It’s a scream with nothing to say
It’s a quiet, frozen breath
I’m alive but I feel like death

[BIGGER DROP – fuller hyperpop chaos]
Where is the darkness? Where is the light?
Why does surviving feel like a fight?
Clouds go black but I see no sky
I don’t feel scared — and that’s why I cry

I don’t feel shame, I don’t feel flame
I’d restart, delete my name
If you feel nothing, sing the same
Static, static in our chest

[Bridge – everything cuts. Just piano. Close mic vocal.]
Maybe numb is a nervous truce
Maybe my heart just blew a fuse
After running red for days
It shut itself off to keep me safe

If you’re out there feeling thin
Like your body’s caving in
You’re not broken — you’re overwhelmed
You’re not empty — you just held

too much.

[Final Chorus – half hyperpop, half stripped back, emotional lift]
Where is the darkness? Where is the light?
We’re still breathing through the night
Even silence means we’re here
Even nothing means we’re near

I don’t feel love, I don’t feel pain
But I’m still standing in the rain
If you feel nothing — call my name
We’re not gone. We’re just in between.
