[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
