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
