Static In My Veins

(Intro)
Yeah—
Don’t tell me I’m fine, you don’t know what I seen
Don’t tell me “calm down,” you don’t live in my dreams

(Verse 1)
I got rage in my chest, got ghosts in my skin
Every memory twisted, don’t know where to begin
They were supposed to protect me, yeah that was the lie
Now I flinch at the world every time it gets close to my side

Yeah—
Say I’m dramatic, say I’m insane
But you weren’t there when it burned in my brain
You weren’t there when I froze, couldn’t move, couldn’t speak
Now I carry that weight every day of the week

I don’t trust no one, I don’t sleep right
Every shadow got a face when it’s late night
Every word that you say feel fake to me
Like the whole damn world just playin’ me

(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t wanna feel this, I just wanna shut it off
Every thought too loud, every breath too rough
I ain’t asking for help, I just want some peace
But the noise in my head never gives me release

(Chorus)
It’s static in my veins, I’m losing control
Every scar, every memory taking its toll
I don’t scream no more, I just let it sit
All this anger inside, yeah I live with it

Static in my veins, can’t silence the past
Every second I’m breaking but I’m built to last
You can’t fix what you never even tried to see
So don’t stand there now acting sorry to me

(Verse 2)
Yeah I’m cold now, yeah I changed up
Had to build walls just to stay tough
You don’t know what it’s like when your safe place ain’t safe
When the people you trust leave a permanent stain

I was young, I was lost, I was easy to break
Now I’m piecing together every part that they take
Every lie, every touch, every line they crossed
Now I’m fighting myself tryna not get lost

Therapy talk, but I’m biting my tongue
How you heal when the damage already done?
How you trust when your past still breathin’ alive?
How you live when you barely survive?

(Bridge — intense)
Nah—don’t tell me “time heals,” that’s a lie that you sell
I been stuck in the moment, livin’ straight through hell
But I’m still on my feet, yeah I’m still in the fight
Even broken, I’m swinging with everything I might

(Chorus)
It’s static in my veins, I’m losing control
Every scar, every memory taking its toll
I don’t scream no more, I just let it sit
All this anger inside, yeah I live with it

Static in my veins, can’t silence the past
Every second I’m breaking but I’m built to last
You can’t fix what you never even tried to see
So don’t stand there now acting sorry to me

(Outro)
Yeah—
I’m still here.
And I ain’t quiet anymore.
