Alone in the Static

[Intro] [Verse 1] Ten years gone, but the ghost still lingers, Dad’s old laugh fades in the pixels and fingers. Thirty’s a maze, I’m just tracing the walls, Adderall mornings, smoke-filled nightfalls. Tags on the train tracks, controllers in hand, A world in the screen where the pain’s less grand. Voicemails stack up, but the silence stays thick, A heart wrapped in static—can’t hit rewind quick. [Pre-Chorus] Colors e*****e when the spray can hits brick, But the highs never stick, just a temporary fix. I’m a ghost in the grid, no reset, no save, Drowning in waves that I’m too numb to brave. [Chorus] Alone in the static, I scream without sound, A flicker of light where the dark pulls me down. I don’t wanna stay, but I can’t let them bleed, So I dance in the chaos where the shadows don’t leave. [Verse 2] Mom’s voice on repeat, “When you coming around?” But the dial tone’s easier than breaking this ground. EDM beats c***h like the storms in my veins, Amphetamine sunrise to numb all the pains. Pixel skies glow as the joystick ignites, But the game’s never over—just endless fake lives. [Bridge] What’s left of the boy who once laughed in the sun? A man in the mirror, a fuse come undone. The graffiti screams louder than I ever could, Maybe tomorrow I’ll paint something good… [Chorus] Alone in the static, I scream without sound, A flicker of light where the dark pulls me down. I don’t wanna stay, but I can’t let them bleed, So I dance in the chaos where the shadows don’t leave. [Outro]
