Noise leaks through the walls at night
Says my name in pieces
Every smile feels loaded now
Every silence bleeds us
I count the cracks in the ceiling
Like reasons I should run
You swore we’d die together
Now you’re already gone
There’s a shadow in the feedback
Wearing your face
Every truth I handed to you
You gave it a place
You left your knives in the noise
Buried deep in my back
I was bleeding for the circle
While you planned the attack
Enemies speak in echoes
Friends learn how to lie
I’m screaming through the noise
While you watch me die
The hum sounds like a warning sign
I can’t tune it out
Your voice swims in distortion
Then dissolves into doubt
You fed me to the rumor fire
Called it “keeping it clean”
I built a home inside my chest
You burned it in between
Hands I trusted mapped my fear
Like streets they’d learned by heart
Every scar you helped me close
Was where you’d start
You left your knives in the noise
Buried deep in my back
I was bleeding for the circle
While you planned the attack
Enemies speak in echoes
Friends learn how to lie
I’m screaming through the noise
While you watch me die
If I disappear in feedback
Would you finally feel free?
Was I always just a signal
You were waiting to delete?
I scream into the emptiness
It never lies to me
It only shows what’s broken
Not what we used to be
You left your knives in the noise
Called it loyalty
I was fighting for a family
You were killing parts of me
Enemies know my heartbeat
Friends know where I fall
I fade into the aftersound
While you feel nothing at all
The noise stays honest
The noise stays honest
When everyone’s gone
