Static in my pocket, screaming through the glass

Static in my pocket, screaming through the glass Every headline burning, every moment moving fast Opinions like a wildfire, lighting up the night Everybody’s shouting, everybody’s right Scrolling through the sirens, drowning in the sound Truth gets twisted sideways every time it comes around Thumb on the trigger of a glowing little screen Trying to find the middle in a world that’s so extreme Every comment like a bullet in the dark Every sentence leaves a mark I can feel it pulling at my soul So I turn it off, let the silence breathe Let the quiet put my heart at ease Step away from the war of words From the lies I’ve seen and the hate I’ve heard Then I turn it back on, but I stand my ground Armor up when the noise surrounds I don’t fight alone in the raging storm I seek my God — He keeps me strong Notifications flashing like a battlefield Every post a weapon that somebody wields Echo chambers bouncing like a drum If you don’t pick a side, they say you’re overcome But anger is addictive, and pride is loud Easy to get lost inside the crowd Typing like a soldier in a digital trench Forgetting that the screen has no defense Every comment like a spark to flame Everybody’s playing blame And it’s heavy on my soul So I turn it off, let the silence breathe Let the quiet put my heart at ease Step away from the war of words From the lies I’ve seen and the hate I’ve heard Then I turn it back on, but I stand my ground Armor up when the noise surrounds I don’t fight alone in the raging storm I seek my God — He keeps me strong When the voices rise like thunder And the lines are drawn in sand I remember who I am I remember whose I am Not every battle’s mine to claim Not every fire needs my name Peace begins when I lay it down And faith is where my strength is found Log out… breathe in… Close my eyes… begin again… I turn it off, let the silence breathe Find the truth underneath Step away from the war of words From the chaos loud and the truth obscured Then I turn it back on, but I stand in grace Guard my heart in every space I don’t fight alone in the raging storm I seek my God — He keeps me strong In the war of words, I choose my sword And it’s not my pride — it’s the Lord.
