Static in My Veins

Wires curled around my restless hands

Ghosts flicker on the window in static bands

Your echo swims inside my empty room

Soft as nightfall, heavy as perfume

I drift along the tangled lines

Where silence starts to taste like wine

Drag me down, let the beat fall sideways

Sleepy whispers lost in sideways hallways

We slide into the glitch, let it all remain

Counting constellations made of pain

There's only static in my veins

Your shoes are footprints on the cold mosaic floor

Messages unsent that I won't read anymore

I play our memories on tape so slow

Freeze the moment, never let it go

I drift along the tangled lines

Where silence starts to taste like wine

Drag me down, let the beat fall sideways

Sleepy whispers lost in sideways hallways

We slide into the glitch, let it all remain

Counting constellations made of pain

There's only static in my veins

If you hear these broken records turn

Know every scratch is just a lesson learned

Layers of us peeling, hidden underneath

Your name in faded stickers on my beat-up sheets

Drag me down, let the beat fall sideways

Sleepy whispers lost in sideways hallways

We slide into the glitch, let it all remain

Counting constellations made of pain

There's only static in my veinsLet the static sing me home tonight

In the hush, I fade beneath the light
