[Intro]
Static waves, broken dreams
Dad's secrets kept beneath the seams
Can't shake these thoughts, they multiply
Watch the factory lights die
[Verse 1]
Found receipts in the garage last night
Equipment missing, something ain't right
Pop's been selling tools on the low
Medical bills stacking, watch it grow
Been lying to mom about where he goes
While I'm stuck here making SoundCloud flows
Should've known when his hands would shake
Every morning before his coffee break
[Chorus]
Broken transmissions, static in my mind
Tryna piece together what he left behind
Ghost of my failures haunting every night
Dad's working double shifts, I ain't doing right
F*ck these hospital bills, they taking everything
While I'm watching from the sidelines, barely breathing
[Verse 2]
Machinery echoing through my skull
Memories of childhood start to dull
Pop taught me pride, now he's breaking down
Selling off his life, piece by crown
Should've been there, should've made more dough
Instead of chasing dreams, now the guilt shows
Every beat I make sounds like his cough
Every track I drop feels like a loss
[Outro]
Static fading into morning light
Maybe one day I can make this right
Till then I'm trapped between these waves
Of shame and hope in equal ways
