In The Static

[Verse 1] I hear the TV bleed at night Soft voices chewing through the light I press my ear against the wall To feel like I exist at all You left your shadow in my bed It curls up where you used to rest I try to wash it from the sheets But it just stains me when I sleep [Chorus] And I, I want it to be seen There's just something in between You're hunger and you leaved So I held still Like I did in a half-light dream That you loved me quietly Like something you don't keep [Verse 2] There's honey dripping from my throat Every word I never spoke It sticks It burns, it pulls me down A sweetness that I'm gonna drown in now You say my name like it's a chore Like you said better ones before I try to make my body small So you won't mind me there at all [Chorus] But I, I wanted to be warm Not just sleep from many storms You never meant to fall So I stay soft Like a bruise you couldn't see Let you press your weight on me Like I was meant to be [Bridge] Break me slow like you don't want to know There's a person in the glow of the screen light on my bones And when I go, I'll dissolve into the noise Just another broken voice you won't notice in the void [Chorus] But I, I wanted to be real Something you could touch and feel Not disappear on cue Still I wait In the static in between If you ever look for me I'll be gone before you do
