Verse 1
Used to have a thousand voices
Filling up the empty space (so much noise)
Every night was something different
Never had to slow my pace (not once)
Now the room is getting quieter
And I don't know what to do
All the noise I used to run from
Is the only thing I knew (funny, isn't it?)
Pre-Chorus
I turn the music louder
But I still hear it underneath (shh...)
Every thought is tangled up
And nothing wants to leave (go away)
Chorus
I've got static in my head (oh-oh)
Buzzing underneath my skin
All the things I never said
Coming back again (here we go)
I try to find a signal
But I'm losing every thread
Nothing's really happening
But there's static in my head (in my head)
Static in my head
Won't you turn it down? (please)
Static in my head
It's the loudest kind of sound (how can silence be so loud?)
Verse 2
I miss the stupid conversations
I miss having somewhere to go
I miss laughing at the nonsense
More than anyone could know (yeah, I miss it)
Funny how you miss the chaos
When the silence starts to stay
I never thought I'd want the noise
Until it all just went away (just... gone)
Pre-Chorus
So I stare into the ceiling
Counting shadows in the dark
Trying to make sense of feelings
That don't know where to start (where do I start?)
Chorus
I've got static in my head (oh-oh)
Buzzing underneath my skin
All the things I never said
Coming back again (again, again)
I try to find a signal
But I'm losing every thread
Nothing's really happening
But there's static in my head
Static in my head (can't shut it out)
Won't you turn it down?
Static in my head
It's the loudest kind of sound (too loud)
Bridge
Maybe I don't need an answer
Maybe I just need a voice (anybody...)
Something to remind me
That I still have a choice
Maybe silence isn't empty
Maybe I can let it be (just breathe)
Maybe somewhere in the static
There's a little piece of me (there I am)
Chorus
I've got static in my head (still there)
But I'm learning how to breathe
All the things I thought I'd lost
Are still a part of me (I remember)
I don't need to find the signal
I don't need to understand
Maybe I can sit with all this noise
And still know where I stand (I'm still here)
Static in my head
It doesn't own me now (not anymore)
Static in my head
I'm learning to turn it down (slowly)
Outro
Still buzzing... (mm)
Still there...
But I'm here. (I'm here)
I'm here.
