I don't sleep
I just stare at the dark
Neon lights tracing cracks in my heart
You said: Love
But you played your part
Left me bleeding
Now I'm back at the start
Cold nights
Warm lies in your breath
You held my fear like a threat
I gave you silence
You gave me depth
Now I talk to myself 'bout life and death

I don't cry
I convert the pain
Turn scars into gold on my chain
If I'm empty
Don't say my name
I survived every loss I gained

I'm stuck in the midnight static
Your echo lives
Yeah it's automatic
I don't miss you
I miss the magic
Being chosen
Not just a habit
I talk to God
But the line goes quiet
Guess he knows I'm born from riot
If love's a drug
I went cold, erratic
Now I breathe in the midnight static

Your shadow still sleeps in my sheets
I chase success just to feel complete
Every promise you made was weak
Every forever couldn't compete
I learned hearts don't shatter
They fade
Till you don't know the plans you made
If I look calm
Just know it's fake
I mastered the art of the mask I wear

They see glow, they don't see cracks
I lost myself just to get this far
If I fall, I won't crawl back
I'd rather burn than live half-art

I'm stuck in the midnight static
Your echo lives, yeah it's automatic
I don't miss you, I miss the magic
Being chosen, not just a habit
I talk to God, but the line goes quiet
Guess he knows I'm born from riot
If love's a drug, I went cold, erratic
Now I breathe in the midnight static

Don't save me, I already know
The dark feels honest when you're alone
Don't chase me, if I let this go
I turn my scars into something gold

I'm stuck in the midnight static
Heart too cold, mind too graphic
I don't love you, I love surviving
Turning pain into diamonds shining
If I fade out, don't make it tragic
I felt too much, yeah, that's my damage
No peace found, but I made it classic
Still breathing in the midnight static
