Ashes in the Static

[Intro, Ambient Pads, Distant Vocals] Oh-oh-oh Static in the silence Oh-oh-oh [Verse 1] I’ve been staring at the ceiling Counting cracks like they’re my sins Every shadow in the mirror Looks like someone wearing my skin Cold sweat on the pavement City lights blur into grey Every promise that I made Fades a little more each day [Pre-Chorus, Rising Tension] If I scream into the void tonight Will it echo back my name? Or dissolve into the noise Like a spark without a flame? [Chorus, Heavy Guitars, Emotional] We’re just ashes in the static Falling through the great unknown Every heartbeat automatic But I’ve never felt so alone If I disappear in the silence Will you even notice the change? We’re just ghosts in the machine now Dancing in the grey [Verse 2] Broken glass in my reflection Every shard a different me Trying hard to fit the version Of who you want me to be Breathing in the pressure Like it’s oxygen and shame Every time I say I’m fine I’m just feeding the flame [Pre-Chorus, Building Drums] If I tear apart these walls inside Will the daylight finally break? Or am I just another casualty Of every choice I couldn’t make? [Chorus, Full Band, Powerful] We’re just ashes in the static Falling through the great unknown Every heartbeat automatic But I’ve never felt so alone If I disappear in the silence Will you even notice the change? We’re just ghosts in the machine now Dancing in the grey [Bridge, Breakdown, Whispered Vocals] Strip me down to the wire Cut the signal, kill the sound If there’s something left inside me Let it drag me out [Scream] I don’t wanna fade away I don’t wanna fade away [Chorus, Final, Explosive] We’re just ashes in the static Screaming at a sky of stone Every system overloaded But I’m tired of being alone If I shatter in the silence Let the pieces rearrange We’re not ghosts, we’re still breathing Burning through the grey [Outro, Fading Synths] Oh-oh-oh Through the grey Oh-oh-oh We won’t fade [End]
