Drowning in the Static

(Verse 1)

Heartbeat racing, hands unsteady,

Shadows creeping, walls feel heavy.

Every breath is razor-thin,

I don’t know where I end or begin.

(Pre-Chorus)

Lights too bright, voices too loud,

Falling fast but my feet won’t hit the ground.

I tell myself it’s in my head,

But my body swears that I’m half-dead.

(Chorus)

I’m drowning in the static, lost inside the noise,

Suffocating silence, screaming with no voice.

I reach for something real, but the air just slips away,

Tell me I’ll be okay—lie to me today.

(Verse 2)

Tangled thoughts like vines inside me,

Gripping tight, they won’t untie me.

Every second stretches long,

Like a war inside where I don’t belong.

(Pre-Chorus)

Lights too bright, voices too loud,

Falling fast but my feet won’t hit the ground.

I tell myself it’s in my head,

But my body swears that I’m half-dead.

(Chorus)

I’m drowning in the static, lost inside the noise,

Suffocating silence, screaming with no voice.

I reach for something real, but the air just slips away,

Tell me I’ll be okay—lie to me today.

(Bridge)

Can’t escape it, it’s in my veins,

Like a fire I can’t contain.

Shaking hands, a hollow chest,

Make it stop, I need to rest.

(Outro)

I know this storm will fade in time,

But right now, I’m lost inside my mind.

So tell me I’ll be okay, just for today,

And I’ll hold on ’til it goes away.
