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
