Static on the Screen

[Intro]
[Verse]
Two a.m. in this rental space
Shadows dancing on your face
Sun-faded walls, a quiet place
We’re losing all our rhythmic pace
Just ghosts in a hollow chase
With nothing left to embrace
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to finish every line
Now we’re just running out of time
The silence feels like such a crime
A mountain that we cannot climb
[Chorus]
Ten minutes left to stay
Before you drift away
Matcha lattes turning cold
Stories that we never told
Muted cartoons on the screen
The loudest quiet I’ve ever seen
[Post-Chorus]
Just breathe
Don’t leave
The static in the air
Is more than I can bear
[Verse]
Skittering heartbeats in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
But the sub-bass hits a lonely mark
Like a ghost inside a public park
Dusty pads and a broken arc
Leaving us both stark
[Hook]
Blue light, neon soul
Losing all control
Keep it on the low
Where do we even go?
[Chorus]
Ten minutes left to stay
Before you drift away
Matcha lattes turning cold
Stories that we never told
Muted cartoons on the screen
The loudest quiet I’ve ever seen
[Bridge]
The baritone guitar is weeping
While the rest of the world is sleeping
Secrets that we’re barely keeping
Into the floorboards, they are seeping
Slow-burning, ever creeping
Through the promises we’re reaping
[Verse]
You check your phone, I check the floor
What are we even waiting for?
The handle’s turning on the door
I couldn’t ask for any more
Than the peace we had before
This quiet, bitter war
[Chorus]
Ten minutes left to stay
Before you drift away
Matcha lattes turning cold
Stories that we never told
Muted cartoons on the screen
The loudest quiet I’ve ever seen
[Post-Chorus]
Just breathe
Don’t leave
The static in the air
Is more than I can bear
[Outro]
