Static Bloom

(Verse 1)

The neon flicker hits the glass

Watching all the shadows pass

I’m leaning heavy on the bar

Trying to forget just who we are

The static starts to hum so loud

I lose my features in the crowd

One more drink to numb the sting

Waiting for the beat to swing.

(Chorus)

So I’m dancing through the hollow parts

To quiet down my heavy heart

I’m spinning ‘til the room goes black

To keep the voices from screaming back

The bass is loud, the air is thin

I’m shedding layers of my skin

Filling up the empty space

With a rhythm I can’t quite chase.

(Verse 2)

The floor is shaking ‘neath my feet

A temporary, cold retreat

They’re shouting things I shouldn’t know

About the places I can’t go

But when the kick drum hits my chest

The intrusive thoughts are laid to rest

I’m a ghost inside a strobe-lit blur

Far away from who I were.

(Bridge)

Louder, make it louder still

Until I’ve had my bitter fill

Don’t let the music ever end

It’s the only honest friend I lend

My body to the crushing sound

Until I’m nowhere to be found.

(Chorus)

Yeah, I’m dancing through the hollow parts

To quiet down my heavy heart

I’m spinning ‘til the room goes black

To keep the voices from screaming back

The bass is loud, the air is thin

I’m shedding layers of my skin

Filling up the empty space

With a rhythm I can’t quite chase.

(Outro)

Drown it out...

Just drown it out...

The silence is the thing I fear

So I’ll stay right here.

Keep the lights low.

Don’t let me go.

(Fade out with heavy bass pulse)
