Static Between Two Names

Verse

Sticker tag half peeled on your collar

Ink gone soft where the sweat starts to swallow

Someone shouts a name through the speaker's hiss

Static eats it clean before it lands like this

Radio clipped to the boothman's belt

Crackles once, then the low end melts

You lean in close just to catch the sound

Static blurs it, but your mouth's still found

Pre-Chorus

Do we need the names at all

Or just this static holding up the wall

Chorus

Static between two names

Nobody's sure who anybody claims

Static between two names

Close as the crackle, close as the flames

Verse

Wristband glows blue under black light haze

Letters smudge in the heat and the daze

You mouth a word, it dies in the noise

Frequency hums where the silence deploys

Hand near mine on the cold steel rail

Names keep breaking like a weak signal

Doesn't matter what the mic just said

Static's louder than the words instead

Pre-Chorus

Do we need the names at all

Or just this static holding up the wall

Chorus

Static between two names

Nobody's sure who anybody claims

Static between two names

Close as the crackle, close as the flames

Bridge

Maybe it's better this way

Unnamed, unclaimed, still here to stay

No introduction, no need to explain

Just the hush and the hum where the static remains

Chorus

Static between two names

Nobody's sure who anybody claims

Static between two names

Close as the crackle, close as the flames
