Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Clawing from a pit where I buried my heart Nails split open just to tear it apart I sit in a haze while the world drags on Like I died somewhere… but forgot I’m gone Shadows of a past rot under my skin Whispers of names I can’t place within Ghosts in my blood but they don’t feel like mine Just echoes of something I left behind [Chorus] Black static where my memories should be Dead air echoing inside of me I feel the pain but I can’t recall Who I was before the fall Black static—nothing left to see Just the ghost of what used to be me If it’s all gone, why does it remain This hollow pulse of nameless pain [Verse 2] Fragments decay as they slip through my head Half of me missing, the rest of me dead Memories drip like a wound in the rain I know they were real… but I don’t feel the same I reach for the pieces—they crumble to dust Turn into nothing the moment I trust Time chewed them up, spit them out in the void Left me with pieces it couldn’t destroy [Chorus] Black static where my memories should be Dead air echoing inside of me I feel the pain but I can’t recall Who I was before the fall Black static—nothing left to see Just the ghost of what used to be me If it’s all gone, why does it remain This hollow pulse of nameless pain [Bridge – stripped down / spoken feel] If I can’t remember, but still feel the scar Does that make it less… or just make it dark Does it erase what was locked in my frame Or brand me forever with pain without name No… I don’t bow, I don’t break, I don’t fade I drag what is left of me out of the grave [Final Chorus – fuller, heavier] Black static where my memories should be Dead air screaming back at me I feel the pain but I can’t recall Who I was before the fall Black static—burn it into me I am what’s left, not what used to be No past to claim, no truth to explain Just something alive… inside the pain
