Hope in the Static

Verse 1

I wake up in the echo of your name

Like it’s stitched into my breath

I tell myself I’m fine alone

But the silence knows the truth best

I trace the cracks along the wall

Counting seconds, counting fears

I swear I’m strong, I swear I’m whole

But I’m breaking just to feel you near

Pre-Chorus

I hate the way I need you

Like a drug I can’t deny

I’m drowning in your absence

Still afraid to say goodbye

Chorus

This is longing, this is damage

This is love I can’t control

I’m lost inside the chaos

But I’m searching for a hope

I’m standing in the static

With your shadow in my chest

If this pain is all I have

Then I’ll wear it like a dress

Verse 2

Every room still smells like us

Like a promise left to rot

I replay every word you said

Like it’s all that I’ve got

They say time heals everything

But time just learns to lie

It teaches you to smile in crowds

And cry alone at night

Pre-Chorus

I build my world around you

Like you’re gravity itself

If you fall, I fall with you

I don’t know me without your help

Chorus

This is longing, this is damage

This is love I can’t control

I’m lost inside the chaos

But I’m searching for a hope

I’m screaming through the static

Trying not to lose my name

If I’m addicted to the pain

At least it keeps me sane

Bridge

Maybe hope is just a flicker

In a city made of fire

Maybe I’m still breathing

‘Cause I haven’t burned out yet

If I let go of your hand

Will I finally stand?

Or will I disappear instead?

Break

I’m alone

But I’m alive

I’m afraid

But I still try

Final Chorus

This is longing, this is healing

This is learning how to cope

I’m dancing with the chaos

Still believing there is hope

Even broken things can glow

In the dark before the dawn

If I survive this night alone

I’ll be stronger when it’s gone

Outro

I don’t need you to save me now

But I’ll always feel the scar

Hope was born inside the wreckage

And it taught me who I am
