Whisper Static

[Intro] Static in my head, white noise on repeat Trust falls like ashes at my feet Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Late nights in the booth, you record every word I speak Turning trauma into gold, while I'm too high to see Manchester streets echo with the lies you keep Thought we were healing together, but you just wanted the tea Studio lights dim low, confessions through the smoke Every secret that I told you became another rope To hang myself with, damn, I should've known better Your sweet poison got me feelin' like we'd last forever [Chorus] Whispers turn to static when you play me back Every fuckin' session was another heart attack Thought I found an angel but you're just like the rest Taking pieces of my soul, yeah, you thought you knew best (Static, static, static in my mind) Beautiful poison, yeah, you got me blind (Static, static, static every time) [Verse 2] Middle Eastern strings cry while I spill my guts You sit there nodding, planning how to mix it up Turn my pain to profit, yeah, that's your expertise Got me hooked on validation like it's pure codeine Every breakdown recorded, every tear preserved Digital confessions, yeah, that's what I deserve Should've seen it coming when you switched the mic on Now my demons got a soundtrack that you profit from [Bridge] Delete the files, but the damage stays Your voice in my head every single day Can't trust nobody in this game we play Beautiful poison, beautiful decay [Chorus] Whispers turn to static when you play me back Every fuckin' session was another heart attack Thought I found an angel but you're just like the rest Taking pieces of my soul, yeah, you thought you knew best (Static, static, static in my mind) Beautiful poison, yeah, you got me blind (Static, static, static every time) [Outro] Static fades to silence But the scars remain Trust dies in the darkness Of our twisted game (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
