Beneath the static 5

Verse

Four a.m. and the sirens won't leave me alone

Bleed into my headphones where my own voice used to go

Pigeon feathers floating on the fog machine light

Same corner for two years now, same tired fight

My cousin said I'm wasting time in this gray concrete hole

But every static hum is proof he never had a goal

Stained coffee cup with a hundred different stains

This city's got a rhythm and my feet keep the frame

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear what I hear? Is it just the sirens or is it clear?

Is this static all there ever was or could it turn to something more?

Watch me spin the dials till the signal starts to climb

Catch you in the static before the sun gets up on time

Chorus

Beneath the static, I find my own frequency

Static hum turning into melody

Same four a.m., same city block and wire

But the noise I'm hearing is no longer fire

Just turn it up loud and feel the tower start to rise

I'm beneath the static

Till the sirens say goodbye

Verse

Landlord knocking on the door but I don't open wide

Tell him the radio's got a frequency that he can't hide

Pigeon feathers landing soft where my dreams used to lie

He says move out, I say it moves with me or else I die

Every static speck is proof I never had to leave

Just turn the dial until something starts to breathe

Same grey building but now every window's aglow

My name's written in pigeon feathers floating slow

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear what I hear? Is it just the sirens or is it clear?

Is this static all there ever was or could it turn to something more?

Watch me spin the dials till the signal starts to climb

Catch you in the static before the sun gets up on time

Chorus

Beneath the static, I find my own frequency

Static hum turning into melody

Same four a.m., same city block and wire

But the noise I'm hearing is no longer fire

Just turn it up loud and feel the tower start to rise

I'm beneath the static

Till the sirens say goodbye

Bridge

What if all this time we were tuning into the wrong station?

What if our dreams just needed a little more transmission?

Static hum turning into something real, not some noise in the dark

I'll take my chances on this frequency and leave the city park

Chorus

Beneath the static, I find my own frequency

Static hum turning into melody

Same four a.m., same city block and wire

But the noise I'm hearing is no longer fire

Just turn it up loud and feel the tower start to rise

I'm beneath the static

Till the sirens say goodbye

Outro

Beneath the static, I find my own way

Same city streets but now they fade
