[Intro]
Static in my mind, beeping through the night
Dad's lying there, but I can't make it right
[Verse 1]
Emergency lights flash through my window pane
Watching monitors like they could ease the pain
F*ck these bills stacking up, we barely breathe
System's broken, while my old man bleeds
Every missed call feels like a flatline
Caught between work and watching him decline
Mom's crying in the kitchen, I pretend not to hear
Popping pills just to face my biggest fear
[Chorus]
Can't save you, can't save you
Though I'd trade all my tomorrows for you
These walls are closing in, what can I do?
When the system's rigged and we're just making do
[Verse 2]
White coats speaking words I can't understand
While I'm counting pennies with these shaking hands
Memory of you strong before the tubes
Now you're fading like these hospital room blues
Should've been there more, should've done more shit
Instead I'm drowning in this bottomless pit
Every siren wailing sounds like your voice
Living or dying shouldn't be a rich man's choice
[Chorus]
Can't save you, can't save you
Though I'd trade all my tomorrows for you
These walls are closing in, what can I do?
When the system's rigged and we're just making do
[Outro]
Static fading out like your breath tonight
Hold on dad, please just hold on tight
Frequencies dying in the cold air
Praying to a God who might not care
