Drowning In The Static

(Verse 1)

The silence in this kitchen is a deafening roar

Since I watched your shadows walk out the door

The pink slip on the table, the dust on the floor

I’m a king of nothing, I don’t fight anymore.

I traded my pride for a bottle and a lie

Watching the best of my life pass me by

I’m screaming at the ceiling until my throat is raw

The pathetic remains of a man with a flaw.

(Pre-Chorus)

I let the fire go cold

I let the story be told

By a coward who gave up the fight

And traded the day for the night.

(Chorus)

I was drowning in the static, lost in the grey

Throwing every memory and promise away

I was a hollow shell, a ghost in the hall

Waiting for the gravity to finish the fall.

But I’m waking up!

Yeah, I’m breaking out!

(Verse 2)

Then the air started changing, the pressure let go

I saw a glimmer of hope in the depths of the low

I cleaned up the wreckage, I faced every scar

I stopped wondering how we got out this far.

The doorbell rang like a thundering crack

I saw your faces and the world rushed back

The job’s just a job, but this—this is life

My children’s laughter and the hand of my wife.

(Bridge)

(Nu-Metal style - heavy and rhythmic)

I fell down! (I got up!)

I stayed down! (I stood up!)

The darkness had a grip but I broke the chain

I’m finding the beauty inside of the pain!

I’M NOT GONE!

I’M STILL HERE!

(Chorus)

I was drowning in the static, lost in the grey

Throwing every memory and promise away

I was a hollow shell, a ghost in the hall

Waiting for the gravity to finish the fall.

But the light is bright!

And I’m home tonight!

(Outro)

(Soft Rock style - melodic and fading)

The house is full again.

The shadows are gone.

I’ve finally found my way...

Back to the dawn.

Back to the dawn.
