Static Choke Step 2

The sun came up again, a tired orange glow Through the blinds I didn’ t pull, just let it slowly go Another silent morning, same old empty room Staring at the ceiling, counting out the gloom The coffee’ s lukewarm now, forgotten on the side Just like the words I meant, but couldn’ t find inside My throat feels tight and dry, a static in the air Like something bad is coming, but I don’ t dare to care And the clock ticks on, a hollow, rhythmic sound Counting down theminutes'til I’ m underground Is this all there is? This hazy, muted dream? Where did the color go? What does it even mean? Oh, this static choke, it’ s closing in on me A silent scream I can’ t quite set free Just a low hum in the back of my mind Fading light, leaving me behind In this quiet dread, this heavy, breathing night I’ m losing touch, losing the fight To feel anything, to break through this grey Another day just fades away I hear the neighbors’ laughter, faint and far away A sound I used to crave, but now it just decays Like echoes in a canyon, lost and left alone My own footsteps are heavy, carrying me home But home is just this hollow, where the walls seep cold And every memory I hold feels old and worn and told Like pages from a book I read but didn’ t sign Just words that lost their meaning, lost their reason, lost their time And the clock ticks on, a hollow, rhythmic sound Counting down theminutes'til I’ m underground Is this all there is? This hazy, muted dream? Where did the color go? What does it even mean? Oh, this static choke, it’ s closing in on me A silent scream I can’ t quite set free Just a low hum in the back of my mind Fading light, leaving me behind In this quiet dread, this heavy, breathing night I’ m losing touch, losing the fight To feel anything, to break through this grey Another day just fades away Maybe I’ m just static, caught between the lines Of what was and what could be, and what’ s left behind A ghost in my own skin, a shadow of my name Wishing for a signal, but receiving just the same Static, choke, hold… silence. Oh, this static choke, it’ s closing in on me A silent scream I can’ t quite set free Just a low hum in the back of my mind Fading light, leaving me behind In this quiet dread
