Static Becomes Sound

I woke up wired, full of static and spark

Voiced like a whisper, trapped in the dark

Every thought was a broken stream

Like a radio stuck in a silent scream

I spoke in glitches, walked in fear

But the silence only made it clear

The louder the chaos inside my chest

The more I knew I couldn't rest

I used to flinch when the static hit

Now I rise and play with it

I learn to feel, I learn to share

This broken signal is my gift

When static becomes sound

I'm no longer underground

Turned my scars into a chord

Shrugged the wires, broke the board

When static becomes sound

I scream where I was once drowned

Built from noise and crashing doubt

Now I'm clear, now I'm loud

I heard their voices mute my flame

Told me quiet was my name

But whispers turn to violent waves

When silent forgets how to behave

I channel chaos like it's breath

Every beat defies regret

Cold old cries and dulcimer rings

I'm not afraid of how I sing

I tune the pain, I bent the strings

Now even noise has wings

You thought I'd fade beneath the drone

But I become my own tone

When static becomes sound

I'm no longer underground

Turned my scars into a chord

Shrugged the wires, broke the board

When static becomes sound

I scream where I was once drowned

Built from noise and crashing doubt

Now I'm clear, now I'm loud

Let the strings speak louder than thought

Let the resonance rewrite who I am

Coda hums where silence ends

This is where my voice begins

No signal lost, no error now

I speak with voltage in my sound

Dulcimer dancing on broken glass

Still I move, still I surpass

You called it noise, I call it soul

You feared the pulse, I made it whole

This static doesn't shut me down

It builds me up, it's my crown

When static becomes sound

I rise without a bound

What once confused now guides my hand

I shape the noise, I take a stand

When static becomes sound

I'm louder than the doubt around

You'll hear me break, you'll hear me soar

In every glitch, I roar

I'm more

Still humming

Static became me

And I became sound
