[Verse 1]
You used to answer when I called your name
Now there's silence where your laughter lived
I trace the outline of our yesterday
But find nothing that you're willing to give
These walls remember every word we shared
Before you learned to look right through me
[Pre-Chorus]
[Whispered vocals]
Tell me why you fade to static
When I'm standing right here
[Chorus]
[Full intensity, aggressive riffs]
You fade to static in my hands
Like broken signals, dying plans
I'm screaming but you can't hear
You fade to static, disappear
You fade to static
[Verse 2]
Your empty chair still holds the shape of us
But you've already packed your heart away
I keep replaying all our broken trust
Wondering what the fuck I didn't say
You built these walls so goddamn high
That even my voice can't reach you now
[Pre-Chorus]
[Whispered vocals]
Tell me why you fade to static
When I need you right here
[Chorus]
[Full intensity]
You fade to static in my hands
Like broken signals, dying plans
I'm screaming but you can't hear
You fade to static, disappear
You fade to static
[Bridge]
[Piano solo with strings, building intensity]
I used to know every breath you took
Now you're foreign language, closed book
Static fills the space between
What we were and what we've been
[Strings crescendo, drums enter]
Maybe I should let you go
But I can't turn off this radio
Searching through the interference
For some sign that you still care
[Final Chorus]
[Most aggressive, all instruments]
You fade to static in my hands
Like broken signals, dying plans
I'm screaming but you won't hear
You fade to static, disappear
You fade to static, slip away
Nothing left that I can say
You fade to static
You fade to static
[Outro]
[Fading to piano and strings]
Tell me why you fade to static
When I'm still right here
