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
