Static in my Mind

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I speak in colors, but you hear in black and white,
Chasing every thought that flickers out of sight.
Hands are restless, words get tangled in my throat,
Trying to stay afloat in a world that makes me choke.

I line up all my worries just to watch them fall,
Counting every crack that's creeping up the wall.
Too loud, too soft, I'm never just enough,
Wearing every label like a jacket that's too rough.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m screaming in a language you don’t try to know,
Every word I say just echoes back too slow.
I’m not broken, I’m not wrong, I’m wired differently—
But you look right through me.

(Chorus)
There's static in my mind and it’s drowning out the sound,
Of every time I begged to just be safe and found.
Puzzle pieces don’t fit, but you force them in the frame,
I’m screaming for connection, but you only hear the blame.
Please, can you hear me now?
Please, can you hear me now?

(Verse 2)
Eye contact burns like the sun on fragile skin,
Conversations spin, and I don’t know where to begin.
Routine is my anchor, but you call it a chain,
I build walls to feel safe, but you call it insane.

Every touch feels heavy, every noise feels sharp,
Trying to play your music with a broken harp.
Focus slips like sand right through my open hands,
While you tell me to sit still and meet demands.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m dancing on a wire you don’t even see,
Every step I take feels like it’s breaking me.
I’m not lazy, I’m not lost, I’m fighting endlessly—
But you still won’t see me.

(Chorus)
There's static in my mind and it’s drowning out the sound,
Of every time I begged to just be safe and found.
Puzzle pieces don’t fit, but you force them in the frame,
I’m screaming for connection, but you only hear the blame.
Please, can you hear me now?
Please, can you hear me now?

(Bridge)
You say "just try harder," but I’m already worn thin,
Every mask I wear is tearing at my skin.
I don’t need your fixing, I need you to understand,
Hold me where I am, don’t pull me by the hand.

(Breakdown)
All these tangled wires, sparks behind my eyes,
Running through a maze built on quiet lies.
I’m not too much, I’m not too far,
I’m a galaxy you’ve never seen—a burning star.

(Final Chorus)
There's static in my mind, but I’m learning how to breathe,
I don’t need to fit if I was never meant to leave.
Stop breaking all my pieces just to make me whole,
I’m screaming for connection—will you listen to my soul?
Please, can you hear me now?
Please, can you hear me now?

(Outro)
I’m not broken, I’m not wrong, I’m wired differently.
Please… just see me.
