“Static in My Skull”
I got a furnace in my chest
Black smoke breathin’ through the vents
Every word sounds like a threat
Every smile feels counterfeit
Walls are closin’ in again
Hear the whispers through the wind
Can’t tell enemies from friends
Can’t tell where my mind begins
I’m worn thin
I’m cracked skin
Rust and rage beneath my ribs
Dead-eyed stare
Pullin’ out my hair
Tryin’ just to coexist
I DON’T TRUST NOBODY
NOT EVEN MYSELF
Every mirror in this house
Looks like somebody else
Paranoia in my bloodstream
Static in my skull
I’m one bad night from losin’ it all
I keep hidin’ in the crowd
Heart racin’ when the room gets loud
Every shadow’s stalkin’ me
Every silence cuts too deep
Anxiety like broken glass
Shreddin’ every breath I have
Social suicide machine
Chokin’ on what I can’t speak
I got ghosts under my skin
Nails scratchin’ from within
I sleep with all the lights turned on
Still wake up feelin’ hunted
I DON’T TRUST NOBODY
NOT EVEN MY NAME
Every conversation feels
Like a setup game
Delusions in the ceiling
Demons in the walls
I’m one bad thought from breakin’ it all
I’m broken down
Stripped to bone
A blackout king on a splintered throne
Try to scream
But the sound won’t land
Just another wreck with blood on his hands
You ever feel your brain cave in?
Like the war inside won’t end?
Like everybody’s watchin’ you
Waitin’ for the worst in you?
I got rage like gasoline
One spark from a crime scene
One shove from a total collapse
One more lie from a heart attack
I DON’T TRUST NOBODY
CAN’T LET ‘EM CLOSE
Every memory bites me
Like a throat full of crows
Paranoia keeps singin’
Like a siren in the dark
And I’m still here burnin’
With a riot in my heart.
