Static
On the noise inside the quiet — a song about the voices we mistake for our own, and the exhaustion of holding it all together.
Lyrics
[Chorus] Static in my head Static in my chest How do I know which voice is mine? Sitting in the silence Lying through the night How do I know if I'll ever feel alright? [Verse 1] The frightening part isn't that I'm sad It's how quickly it became all I've had I wear it like skin Like a mask Forgot where I end Somewhere between my lungs and my tongue Something went quiet And never came back I still laugh Still wave Still say I'm fine Like saying it enough Might make it mine [Chorus] Static in my head Static in my chest How do I know which voice is mine? Sitting in the silence Lying through the night How do I know if I'll ever feel alright? [Verse 2] My mind files every wound Under keep Never remove I sit with the ghost I've spent years feeding And wonder why He won't leave Maybe I've mistaken Silence for rest Maybe the loudest voice Is just the one I've listened to best [Chorus] Static in my head Static in my chest How do I know which voice is mine? Sitting in the silence Lying through the night How do I know if I'll ever feel alright? [Bridge] Every room became an echo chamber Every thought turns a little stranger I whisper one cruel thing about myself The walls repeat it back Again Again Again Sometimes I wonder if the static wants me gone Or just wants me to believe I never belonged [Chorus] Static in my head Static in my chest How do I know which voice is mine? Sitting in the silence Lying through the night How do I know if I'll ever feel alright? Static in my head Static in my chest I don't think I want to die I think I just want One quiet night
