Static Skin 12

Verse

Neon flickers where the wires meet my skin

I've been running from the static inside since I was born

Every mirror shows a stranger in the dark with a gun

The city hums like it knows my name before I say it out loud

Concrete breathing underneath me, and it never lets up

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it climb through the vents at night?

Is that just your heartbeat or mine tonight

I've been trying to learn how to turn this down

Turn it off so the whole world can sleep without a sound

Chorus

Static skin, static skin against your collarbone

I don't know who I am anymore so I'm holding on

Static skin, static skin beneath my hands

This is all I have left of me when the bassline starts to climb

I lose myself in you every time

Verse

Broken glass reflects the light a thousand times

Every version of me standing there with mine

Your palm on my chest and it's like a switch flipped clean

Something buried under finally breaks free

You don't see the static, you just hold onto my hand

Like I'm a radio playing but nobody understands the plan

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it climb through the vents at night?

Is that just your heartbeat or mine tonight

I've been trying to learn how to turn this down

Turn it off so the whole world can sleep without a sound

Chorus

Static skin, static skin against your collarbone

I don't know who I am anymore so I'm holding on

Static skin, static skin beneath my hands

This is all I have left of me when the bassline starts to climb

I lose myself in you every time

Bridge

What if this is what it means to be alive?

Not still or quiet but this burning inside

It's a fire that eats through everything that I know

Maybe I don't want peace, maybe I'm built for noise

Say something back so I can stop forgetting who I am

Hold onto the static and let's both just fall in

Chorus

Static skin, static skin against your collarbone

I don't know who I am anymore so I'm holding on

Static skin, static skin beneath my hands

This is all I have left of me when the bassline starts to climb

I lose myself in you every time
