Whispers in the Static (Sparse Percussion)

[Verse] Flicker of a streetlight lost in the haze Shadows stretch and twist like a puppet's ballet The moon hums low A forgotten tune Night wraps me tight Like a silk cocoon [Chorus] Whispers in the static Calling my name Fading like the echoes of a distant flame Whispers in the static Can't look away Pull me in deeper I’ll fade or stay [Verse 2] A train cries out in the depth of the night Tracks hum stories of escape and flight Dusty roads with no end in sight I’m a compass spinning Lost in delight [Prechorus] The stars are laughing Cruel and bright They never cared They never fight [Chorus] Whispers in the static Calling my name Fading like the echoes of a distant flame Whispers in the static Can't look away Pull me in deeper I’ll fade or stay [Bridge] The radio crackles The signal’s thin A voice breaks through Soft as sin Are you there Or just a dream? The line blurs between real and unseen
