Static

Verse 1

The bathroom floor is cold, but it’s the only thing that’s real

I’m counting out the copper tastes and the way they make me feel

Five milligrams of mercy, then another ten of grace

To blur the jagged edges of this godforsaken place

My blood is running sluggish, like honey in the vein

A chemical sweet lullaby to drown out all the pain

I’m leaning on the porcelain, a king without a crown

Waiting for the heavy waves to finally pull me down.

Chorus

So let the white pills bloom like lilies in my gut

I’m closing every window and I’m keeping every shutter shut

I’ve found a holy exit in the bottom of a glass

Watching every memory and every heartbreak pass

It’s a quiet kind of ending, no fire and no sound

Just a body becoming a part of the ground

Give me one more hit of heaven before I lose the light.

Verse 2

The spoon is getting blackened and the flame is burning low

I’ve got nowhere left to run to and I’ve got nowhere to go

I’m chasing down the ghosts that live inside the silver foil

While the bitterness of living starts to simmer and to boil

I used to fear the reaper, now I’m reaching for his hand

I’ve built my house on water and I’ve built my soul on sand

One more deep inhalation, let the smoke fill up the room.

Bridge

It’s not a sin to want to sleep when you’ve been awake too long

It’s not a crime to want to end a sad and broken song

I’m trading in my oxygen for something a bit more pure

A permanent solution, a final kind of cure

I’m drifting through the static, I’m fading through the floor.

Outro

flicking but never catching)

Just a little more...

Until I can't feel the weight.

The clouds are coming down to meet me.

Don't wait up.

I'm home...
