VERSE 1
I’ve been waking up with static in my teeth,
Like I chewed through every wire in my sleep.
There’s a hum under my ribs I can’t shut off,
A warning light blinking in my chest like it’s about to pop.
I keep pacing through the kitchen like a ghost on fire,
Every step another spark from a frayed live wire.
I swear I’m trying to be better, but the walls keep talking back,
And every promise that I make just slips between the cracks.

PRE‑CHORUS
I’m not running from the truth,
I’m just sprinting from the proof.
If I slow down, I’ll hear the sound
Of everything I’m losing.
---
CHORUS
So I bite down on the static, let it buzz through my bones,
Let the noise drown out the parts of me I don’t wanna know.
If I burn out, let me burn loud, let the whole sky see —
I’m a live wire shaking loose from the power I used to be.
Yeah, I bite down on the static,
’Cause the silence feels like dying to me.

VERSE 2
I’ve been stitching up the damage with a shaky hand,
But the seams keep splitting open every time I try to stand.
There’s a version of me laughing in the mirror like he knows,
He’s the one who lights the fuse every time I get too close.
I keep telling all my friends I’m “fine, just tired,”
But my pulse is a drumline wired to a live amplifier.
I’m a spark in a gas leak, a match in a breeze,
A confession on the edge of bringing me to my knees.
---
PRE‑CHORUS
I’m not scared of what I feel,
Just the parts I can’t conceal.
If I slow down, I’ll hear the sound
Of everything I’m losing.
---
CHORUS
So I bite down on the static, let it buzz through my bones,
Let the noise drown out the parts of me I don’t wanna know.
If I burn out, let me burn loud, let the whole sky see —
I’m a live wire shaking loose from the power I used to be.
Yeah, I bite down on the static,
’Cause the silence feels like dying to me.
---
BRIDGE
Maybe I’m not broken — maybe I’m just loud.
Maybe all this chaos is the only thing that drowns
The quiet little voice that keeps pulling me apart.
Maybe static is the only way I hear my heart.
---
FINAL CHORUS
So I bite down on the static, let it buzz through my bones,
Let the noise drown out the parts of me I’m scared to show.
If I burn out, let me burn bright, let the whole world see —
I’m a live wire breaking free from the version I used to be.
Yeah, I bite down on the static,
’Cause the silence feels like dying to me.
