Somewhere in the static

Lyrics

There’s a flicker in the signal, in between the waves,
A whisper in the white noise, a voice that never fades.
They sold me something bigger, said the world was mine,
But I found gold in dust and dandelions.

[Pre-Chorus]
They said I’d feel it when I owned the sky,
But I caught the meaning in a firefly.
It’s not the throne, it’s the quiet seat,
Not the finish line, but the cracks in the street.

[Chorus]
I don’t need a neon sign to tell me that I’m home,
Found my purpose in the echoes of a dial tone.
Happiness was never something I could buy or steal,
It’s somewhere in the static, and I finally know it’s real.

[Verse 2]
They promised me the mountains, told me “keep the pace,”
But I saw heaven in a stranger’s face.
They build their towers just to touch the void,
But I found peace in all the things they destroy.

[Pre-Chorus]
They said I’d feel it when I owned the sky,
But I caught the meaning in a firefly.
It’s not the throne, it’s the quiet seat,
Not the finish line, but the cracks in the street.

[Chorus]
I don’t need a neon sign to tell me that I’m home,
Found my purpose in the echoes of a dial tone.
Happiness was never something I could buy or steal,
It’s somewhere in the static, and I finally know it’s real.

[Bridge] [Spoken/half-rapped ]
They make you chase the colors, but they blur when you arrive,
Like the mirage of meaning, shifting right before your eyes.
I swore I'd be complete if I just climbed a little more,
But what if I was whole before I walked out my front door?

[Outro] (Soft, almost whispered)
Somewhere in the static,
Somewhere in the dust,
I found what I was looking for...
It was never lost.
