Glass Static

I won’t scream You know that trick doesn’t work anymore My voice is just white noise Bouncing off the perfect walls you built to ignore me I’m standing in the middle of this room That smells like your indifference And I feel the circuits burning out inside me A short circuit You thought I’d break myself against the door? Beg for the warmth you fake? No I’m picking up the pieces of my pride One by one Every step is static Every heartbeat is a drop you’ll never hear I was your silence Your goddamn echo Now I am the static Ripping through your frequency You wanted a ghost? You got the wreckage I am the fire You forgot to kill You left me in the basement of your head Told myself I was dead just to feel something else Click, click — that’s the sound of the trigger of my patience I’m not chasing, I’m erasing You wear your apathy like a crown But I’m the one who let you wear it Watch me take it back I used to trace the cracks in your armor Thought I could hold you together Stupid Now I wear the cuts like armor And they shine brighter than your halo ever did I was your silence Your goddamn echo Now I am the static Ripping through your frequency You wanted a ghost? You got the wreckage I am the fire You forgot to kill No more screaming Just the hum of the wires I’m gone Not broken Gone
