Caged In Static

[Intro] [Verse 1] Alarm clock screams, another day rewinds, Same dirty jeans, same fractured state of mind. The clock hands laugh as I c***e on routine, These four walls shrink—I’m a ghost in the machine. Caffeine and chaos, my pathetic parade, I scribble my dreams on receipts never saved. The mirror’s a liar, says I’m one mistake tall, But I’ll scream through the silence ‘til the cracks in me crawl. [Chorus] I’m screaming at the static, begging for a spark, A matchstick heart in a world that’s too dark. If love’s a w*r zone, I’m the last broken flag, Alive in the wreckage, but dying where I stand! [Verse 2] D**d-end job, neon buzz and expired pride, Missed every exit with my shame as the guide. Gas station wine and a mixtape of regrets, I’m a punchline dressed in “good enough” silhouettes. Texts left on read, my love’s a cheap disguise, I’m a flicker in the crowd, just static in your eyes. But I’ll c***h through the noise, though I’m half-d**d inside, ‘Cause even us losers need somebody to lie. [Chorus] I’m screaming at the static, begging for a spark, A matchstick heart in a world that’s too dark. If love’s a w*r zone, I’m the last broken flag, Alive in the wreckage, but dying where I stand! [Bridge] Yeah, I’m a wreck with a heartbeat, A joke that nobody needs. But I’ll stitch my hope to this kerosene dream, ‘Cause the flame in my chest won’t quit bleeding for meaning. [Outro]
