[Intro]
Static in my head, white noise on repeat
Trust falls like ashes at my feet
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Late nights in the booth, you record every word I speak
Turning trauma into gold, while I'm too high to see
Manchester streets echo with the lies you keep
Thought we were healing together, but you just wanted the tea
Studio lights dim low, confessions through the smoke
Every secret that I told you became another rope
To hang myself with, damn, I should've known better
Your sweet poison got me feelin' like we'd last forever
[Chorus]
Whispers turn to static when you play me back
Every f*ckin' session was another heart attack
Thought I found an angel but you're just like the rest
Taking pieces of my soul, yeah, you thought you knew best
(Static, static, static in my mind)
Beautiful poison, yeah, you got me blind
(Static, static, static every time)
[Verse 2]
Middle Eastern strings cry while I spill my guts
You sit there nodding, planning how to mix it up
Turn my pain to profit, yeah, that's your expertise
Got me hooked on validation like it's pure codeine
Every breakdown recorded, every tear preserved
Digital confessions, yeah, that's what I deserve
Should've seen it coming when you switched the mic on
Now my demons got a soundtrack that you profit from
[Bridge]
Delete the files, but the damage stays
Your voice in my head every single day
Can't trust nobody in this game we play
Beautiful poison, beautiful decay
[Chorus]
Whispers turn to static when you play me back
Every f*ckin' session was another heart attack
Thought I found an angel but you're just like the rest
Taking pieces of my soul, yeah, you thought you knew best
(Static, static, static in my mind)
Beautiful poison, yeah, you got me blind
(Static, static, static every time)
[Outro]
Static fades to silence
But the scars remain
Trust dies in the darkness
Of our twisted game
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
