Static in My Veins

I keep my hands inside my pockets Like I’m hiding dynamite Every word I never shouted Turns electric in the night You look at me like I’m transparent Like I barely take up space But there’s a storm behind my silence You can see it in my face Every breath is getting louder Every step is getting closer To the edge of who I’ve been There’s static in my veins tonight Cracking through my skin I’ve been bending, I’ve been breaking Now I’m breaking in You can try to hold me down But I was born to ignite There’s static in my veins tonight I learned how to be smaller Fold myself into a lie Smile like it doesn’t hurt When you cut me down to size But pressure makes a diamond Or it makes a bomb instead And I don’t know which one I am But I feel it in my chest Every second getting sharper Every shadow getting darker I don’t recognize my grin There’s static in my veins tonight Cracking through my skin I’ve been bending, I’ve been breaking Now I’m breaking in You can try to hold me down But I was born to ignite There’s static in my veins tonight Maybe I’m not the villain Maybe I’m just awake Maybe the cage was open And I chose to stay But something’s pulling harder Than the fear I used to fight If I burn, at least I’ll finally Feel alive There’s lightning in my veins tonight No more hiding in I’m done bending, done pretending Let the chaos in If the world is gonna shake Let it shake from my light There’s lightning in my veins tonight
