White noise
Red eyes
Ceiling fan spinning like warning signs
One room
Too loud
I whisper up, but it won’t come down
My mind got wires running wall to wall
I hear one change and I catch it all
A little shift, a little pause
Now I’m searching for the hidden cause
I smile clean while the inside sparks
Keep my panic folded in the dark
Everybody sees the quiet face
Nobody sees the alarm bells race I been the calm in a
crowded storm
The one who holds when the floor gets torn
But when I’m alone and the lights turn blue
I don’t know who I’m praying to I don’t need a miracle
I just need a minute I don’t need the whole sky I
just need a signal in it Hands on my chest Trying to
breathe through the wires
Talking to the dark Like the dark might answer Static prayers in
my head again I keep calling,
but the line won’t
bend Heart too loud,
room too thin Static prayers,
can you let
me in?
Static prayers on a broken wave I say “I’m fine” when I’m
not that brave If there’s peace somewhere in the air Send it
through these static prayers
Static, static Can you hear me?
Static, static
Come near me Static,
static Through
the air I keep sending
Static prayers
I read the tone before the words arrive
Feel the weather in another person’s eyes
One small change and I lose my ground
Trying not to let the spiral out
I don’t mean to guard every door
I just know what leaving sounded like before
I don’t mean to test every light
I just learned that safe can change overnight
Some days I’m built out of held-back tears
Some days I’m brave just staying here
Some days I laugh so nobody knows How heavy it gets when
the windows close I don’t need a miracle I just need a
minute I don’t need the whole sky I just need a signal
in it Hands on my chest Trying to breathe through the wires
Talking to the dark Like the dark might answer
Static prayers in my head again I keep calling,
but the line won’t bend Heart too loud,
room too thin Static prayers,
can you let
me in?
Static prayers on a broken wave I say “I’m fine” when I’m
not that brave If there’s peace somewhere in the air Send it
through these static prayers
Tell me I’m not just noise
Tell me I’m not too far
Tell me there’s a quiet place Underneath these racing thoughts
Tell me I can lay this down Tell me I can close
my eyes Tell me I don’t have to earn
One peaceful night
I been carrying thunder With a careful face Trying to make home
Out of empty space So if anything listens Anywhere Meet me in
the static Meet me there
Static prayers in my head again
I keep calling, but the line won’t bend Heart too loud,
room too thin Static
prayers, can you let me in?
Static prayers on a broken wave I say “I’m fine” when I’m
not that brave If there’s peace somewhere in the air Send it
through these static prayers
White noise
Red eyes
Ceiling fan spinning like warning signs
One room
Too loud
Still I pray
Through the static now
