Sweat Like Static (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete still warm from the summer rain

Fence lights flicker like a signal that ain't fake

Four months hungry but I'm ready for this

Every step down's one more stair I dismiss

Sweat drips slow where my name used to be

Now it's just numbers and a debt to free

Ribs remind me of the nights I couldn't sleep

Headlights blur into one long street

Pre-Chorus

Something breaking in my chest tonight

Every dollar climbing up this flight

Chorus

Sweat like static on my collarbone

Running till I'm all that's left to own

I was built for nothing, now the whole floor's mine

Moving till the current runs out of time

Verse 2

Tape stuck tight where my sneakers used to be

Knee still remembers every step of the plea

Strangers become a rhythm in the dark

One more mile before this whole thing sparks

Sirens blend into the bassline hum

Nothing chasing me, I'm already gone

Whatever shape I was before this climb

Don't exist no more, only the time

Pre-Chorus

Something breaking in my chest tonight

Every dollar climbing up this flight

Chorus

Sweat like static on my collarbone

Running till I'm all that's left to own

I was built for nothing, now the whole floor's mine

Moving till the current runs out of time

Bridge

Not a runner, not a fighter either

Just the weight I'm willing to surrender

Every drop is proof that I was here

The city don't remember who I used to fear

Chorus

Sweat like static on my collarbone

Running till I'm all that's left to own

I was built for nothing, now the whole floor's mine

Moving till the current runs out of time
