Static in silence

Verse 1

Cigarette sky and a broken streetlight

Your shadow dancing in the neon glow

Radio’s bleeding out a sad song

About a love we used to know

Your lipstick on a coffee cup

Still sitting by the sink

You said forever wasn’t long enough

Now forever’s gone in a blink

Pre-Chorus

And I’m wide awake at 3AM

With the ghosts of what we said

Chorus

There’s static in the silence

Every time I say your name

Like thunder in the distance

But the sky won’t bring the rain

I’m screaming at the ceiling

But the walls don’t feel the same

There’s static in the silence

And I’m the one to blame

⸻

Verse 2

Your denim jacket on the backseat

Still smells like gasoline

We were kings of the freeway

Living off a broken dream

You said we’d never grow old

Just burn out in the flame

But ashes don’t remember

Who started the blaze

Pre-Chorus

And I’m wide awake at 3AM

With your echo in my head

Chorus

There’s static in the silence

Every time I say your name

Like thunder in the distance

But the sky won’t bring the rain

I’m screaming at the ceiling

But the walls don’t feel the same

There’s static in the silence

And I’m the one to blame

⸻

Bridge (gritty, distorted vocal section)

Turn it up, turn it loud

Drown the truth inside the sound

If love was just a radio

We’d smash it to the ground

We were fire, we were young

We were everything undone

Now I’m tuning through the noise

But you’re the only station I want

⸻

Final Chorus (big, layered guitars)

There’s static in the silence

Every time I say your name

Like thunder in the distance

But the sky won’t bring the rain

I’m screaming at the ceiling

But the echo feels the same

There’s static in the silence

And I’ll never be the same
