Underneath

# **THE SHAPE OF STATIC**

Verse 1

I found a second moon

inside the glass you left behind

it trembles when the trains go by

and wears your fingerprints like veins

The room has learned my breathing

every wall repeats it wrong

I count the little fractures

where the afternoon went soft

There's something growing in the sink

thin as a thread, bright as a nerve

I almost touch it with my tongue

just to see what it remembers

Pre-Chorus

I keep my hands beneath the water

until they stop resembling mine

there are names I never buried

still flowering between my lines

Chorus

You are the shape of static

between two stations in the dark

a frequency with no horizon

a little fire without a spark

I don't need you to come closer

I don't need you to remain

I only want to know why

the ceiling whispers when it rains

Verse 2

The flowers outside my window

have begun to face the street

as if something underneath it

is teaching roots to dream

I left a glass beside the bed

for the mouth I couldn't keep

by morning it was full of stars

or dust pretending to be deep

Your shadow isn't missing

it has simply changed its weight

now it hangs beneath the doorway

like a question wearing shape

Pre-Chorus

I press my ear against the silence

there's a pulse inside the wall

something small is turning over

something too alive to call

Chorus

You are the shape of static

between two stations in the dark

a frequency with no horizon

a little fire without a spark

I don't need you to come closer

I don't need you to remain

I only want to know why

the ceiling whispers when it rains

Instrumental / Clean Guitar

Bridge — whispered

If I open the window

will the night come inside?

If I swallow the moonlight

will it learn how to hide?

I have been wearing the distance

like water under my skin

I have been calling it empty

because I don't know what lives in it

Heavy Section — harsh vocals

Pull the wires from the ceiling

Let the blue light bleed

I am tired of being

a room nobody leaves

Cut the shape from the shadow

Break the glass around the sound

If there is something underneath me—

LET IT TURN ME INSIDE OUT

Silence

Final Chorus — soaring clean vocals

You were never the answer

you were the question in the walls

A language made of afterimages

and things that never learned to fall

Now I don't need you to haunt me

I don't need you to explain

I've become something the rain knows

something without a name

Outro

The second moon is fading

The glass is almost clear

Nothing is reaching for me

Nothing is disappearing

And somewhere underneath the silence

something small

keeps growing.
