Static on the Ceiling

[INTRO]
The lights flicker
Like they know what I’ve done

[VERSE 1]
I trace the cracks in the ceiling
Like maps that lead me nowhere
Your voice is a ghost in the hallway
Still screaming my name

I swear I felt your breath on my neck
But it’s just the weight of regret
I’m choking on words I never said

[PRE-CHORUS]
If this is redemption
Then why does it hurt like hell
I’m clawing at silence
Waiting for something to break

[CHORUS]
I’m reading the signs on the walls
But they’re bleeding into my skin
If I fall, don’t let me fall alone
I can’t survive this state I’m in

[VERSE 2]
I built this cage with my own hands
Brick by brick, lie by lie
Now I’m screaming at God through the static
Asking Him why I’m still alive

[BREAKDOWN]
Say it again
Say I’m not broken
Say this isn’t the end
I’m hanging by a thread
And the thread is fraying

[CHORUS – FINAL]
I’m reading the signs on the walls
And they’re spelling out my name
If I burn, let me burn in the open
I won’t disappear in the flames

[OUTRO]
The walls are closing in
But I’m still breathing
I’m still breathing
