Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s a whisper in the wires
A trembling in the line
A message buried under
All the noise inside your mind
You lean in just to hear it
You lean in just to hear it
But it fades before it speaks
Like a memory returning
From a place you couldn’t reach
Verse 2
You walk the halls of metal
Where the clocks decide your fate
Every second feels mechanical
Every heartbeat out of place
You try to raise your voice up
But the ceiling pushes down
And the echo of your footsteps
Is the only living sound
Chorus
But in the static, something’s calling
A truth you thought you’d left behind
A spark that flickers through the falling
A quiet pulse that’s still alive
Bridge
Are you the watcher or the watched
The prisoner or the guard
A shadow drifting through the dark
Pretending it’s not hard
The signal grows, it shakes the walls
It cuts right through the fear
It tells you what you always knew
You were never really here
Final Verse
You step outside the circle
Where the world had drawn your name
And the silence feels like freedom
Not a thing you need to tame
The signal isn’t distant
It was never far away
It was beating in your chest
Waiting for you to hear it say
Final Chorus] [Lifted
In all the static, you remember
The part of you they couldn’t drown
A spark that rises like an ember
A voice that finally makes a sound
