[Verse 1] Every midnight, every screen, Paints a world that's never seen. Silver snow where faces wait, Standing just beyond the gate. No one moves, no one speaks, Only silence slowly breathes. Every shadow knows my name, Every night begins the same. [Pre-Chorus] They don't call... They don't cry... Still I feel them passing by. [Chorus] In the people... In the static... Frozen where the silence lives. Every heartbeat... Every whisper... Takes a little more to give. If I'm dreaming, Let me wake... If I'm waking, What's the break? Tell me why they're watching me... From the people in the static. [Verse 2] Every mirror fades to grey, Every light forgets the day. Every hallway bends too far, Every window hides a star. I count the pills. I lock the door. I've done these rituals before. Truth and fear begin to blend, Where does one... And one end? [Pre-Chorus] Don't look back... Don't believe... Not everything you see will leave. [Chorus] In the people... In the static... Frozen where the silence lives. Every heartbeat... Every whisper... Takes a little more to give. If I'm dreaming, Let me wake... If I'm waking, What's the break? Tell me why they're watching me... From the people in the static. [Bridge] One by one... They disappear... Leaving only borrowed fear. One remains... She lifts her hand... Points behind me... Where I stand. I close my eyes. I count to ten. I swear I'll never turn again. But when the darkness starts to breathe... Something else is watching me. [Final Chorus] In the people... In the static... Every face remembers mine. Every silence... Growing louder... One slow heartbeat out of time. If they're real... Don't let me know. If they're not... Don't let them go. Somewhere between truth and dream... The static keeps remembering me. [Outro] The screen goes black... The room stays white... But someone's breathing... Just outside.
