Streetlight rain against my face
Static dreams I can't erase
I speak in code to hide the ache
No one hears the sound I make

Paper hearts on subway walls
Every name just echoes false
I'm breathing noise instead of air
You're here, but you're not anywhere

My voice runs dry from staying loud
No silence left to fill the crowd
I scroll the dark, I find the glow
I lose myself, but no one knows

There's a pulse behind my teeth
It hums the things I never speak

Static skin, I'm wired and torn
Every touch feels over-worn
Too many eyes, no one sees in
I fade to noise beneath my skin

The ceiling flickers, walls retreat
I hum to drown the inner heat
You said connect, I said pretend
We loop until the signals end

The body moves, the mind delays
We talk like ghosts through plastic haze
You call me real, I'm not so sure
I've been replaced, but I endure

I try to feel, I try to stay
But everything just fades away
The quiet burns, the noise forgives
I'm half-alive in how I live

Static skin, I'm wired and torn
Every touch feels over-worn
Too many eyes, no one sees in
I fade to noise beneath my skin

Static skin, I hum, I spin
I breathe you out, I pull you in
I lose the sound, I lose the spin
And fade again beneath my skin

Still moving
Still wired
Still no one here
