Cut Through the Static

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The hallway keeps its breath held tight A clock blinks red against the night I press my palm against the wall Hear something answer through it all [Pre-Chorus] A wire hums beneath the floor I turn the key, then turn once more [Chorus] Cut through the static, call me by my name Pull me from the signal, pull me through the rain I was a shadow wearing someone else's face Cut through the static—leave a little space [Verse 2] The window shows a vacant street My old reflection skips a beat I stitch a sunrise to my sleeve And wear it where the cold can see [Pre-Chorus] The locked room shakes, the hinges sing A little spark can start the thing [Chorus] Cut through the static, call me by my name Pull me from the signal, pull me through the rain I was a shadow wearing someone else's face Cut through the static—leave a little space [Bridge] If I come apart, let the pieces fall There’s a door in the noise, there’s a hand on the wall No grand escape, no golden flame Just one true voice that knows my name [Final Chorus] Cut through the static, call me by my name Pull me from the signal, pull me through the rain I was a shadow; now I’m making my own way Cut through the static—I'm still here today [Outro] The hallway lets its breath go slow I hear the morning start to glow
