You hand me words
But they don't land like echoes
Trapped in static
We speak like strangers
Wearing skin we used to know
But don't believe in
I reach for you, but my hands feel like ghosts
You're beside me, but miles away
There's static between us
And I don't think it clears
I used to feel you in every breath
Now I choke on quiet years
We're touching, but never close
Talking, but never heard
We move like memory
Not meaning like habit learned from better days
I smile for peace, but it feels rehearsed
Like mourning without a grave
You used to see me in colour, now I'm just
Background noise
There's static between us
And I don't think it clears
I used to feel you in every breath
Now I choke on quiet years
We're touching, but never close
Talking, but never heard
I scream inside
But the frequency's wrong
You don't hear it
You don't ask
There's static between us
Like ghosts on opposite ends
I loved you loud
But you answered
Like static
And that's how we died
