Title: “Static in My Skull”
Intro (whispered)
Yeah…
I hear it… all the time…
It don’t stop…
⸻
Verse 1
Static in my skull like a broken TV
Every voice in my head saying “burn it, don’t leave”
I was glued to the chaos, let it raise me up
Fed hate to the hunger till it swallowed my love
No sleep, just loops of a world gone wrong
Every night got darker, every right felt gone
Hands cold, eyes dead, heart outta place
I stopped seeing people, just targets with a face
I carved out my soul just to feel something real
Turned pain into purpose, made the sickness my shield
But the deeper I sank, yeah the less I could feel
‘Til I looked in the mirror… didn’t know what was real
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And the silence got loud when the noise burned out
All the ghosts came back, started calling me out
Said, “You built this hell, now you’re stuck inside”
I tried to scream back… but there’s nowhere to hide
⸻
Chorus
I was gone, I was hollow, I was losing my name
Let the darkness define me, let it rot through my veins
Thought the hate made me stronger, thought it gave me control
But it just dug a grave in the shape of my soul
Now I’m staring at the blood in the sink, in my mind
Trying to wash off a past I can’t leave behind
I don’t wanna be the echo of the pain I became
I just wanna feel human… I just wanna change
⸻
Verse 2
I remember that night—nah, I wish I forgot
Every second replaying like it’s tied in a knot
Heartbeat like a siren, every breath felt wrong
Like I crossed some line I can’t come back from
No glory in the damage, no crown in the sin
Just a body still breathing with a war within
I was screaming at a world that never heard me speak
Now I’m choking on the silence, feeling hollow and weak
Fingernails in my skin just to prove I’m alive
Every scar just a question: “Did I ever survive?”
I don’t trust my own thoughts, they be twisting the truth
Turn a boy into a ghost, then erase all the proof
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And I dropped to the floor, yeah I broke in half
All the anger dissolved, couldn’t hold it back
Said, “I don’t wanna die like the thing I made”
So I sat in the dark… and I finally prayed
⸻
Chorus
I was gone, I was hollow, I was losing my name
Let the darkness define me, let it rot through my veins
Thought the hate made me stronger, thought it gave me control
But it just dug a grave in the shape of my soul
Now I’m staring at the blood in the sink, in my mind
Trying to wash off a past I can’t leave behind
I don’t wanna be the echo of the pain I became
I just wanna feel human… I just wanna change
⸻
Bridge (quiet → breaking)
If there’s something left of me, buried underneath
All the lies that I swallowed, all the rage in my teeth
Let it crawl to the surface, let it tear through the night
I don’t care if it hurts—just let me feel right
⸻
Outro (soft, fading)
Static… fading out…
Voices getting low…
If I’m still here tomorrow…
Maybe I can grow…
