Verse 1]
Still running on fumes, but the speedometer’s lied
I’m pushing past the redline, nowhere left to hide
This engine’s a pulse, it’s the beat of the memory
Driving faster just to stop what you did to me
The city is screaming, but all I hear is the fade
A phantom broadcast from the promises we made

[Pre-Chorus]
Hands locked tight at ten and two, eyes glued to the pane
Searching for your signal through the concrete rain
Can’t stop, won’t quit, gotta peel back the night
Your memory’s a fix, blinding out the light

[Chorus]
The Ghost in the Static, yeah, you’re the feedback I crave
A beautiful prison that I'm addicted to save
The world is a blur, but your face is so clear
Push the pedal down just to keep you near
Ooh, I'm spinning out, caught in the rhythm of your lies
Chasing a signal that only fades as the sun begins to rise

[Verse 2]
I tried to tune out, hit the button for the radio silence
But your voice cuts through every storm, every night of violence
This high-speed trance is the only way I can cope
A desperate prayer whispered at the end of the rope
I know I'm chasing a dead line, a number I can't call
But I'll hit every wall just to prove I can fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Hands locked tight at ten and two, eyes glued to the pane
Searching for your signal through the concrete rain
Can’t stop, won’t quit, gotta peel back the night
Your memory’s a fix, blinding out the light

[Chorus]
The Ghost in the Static, yeah, you’re the feedback I crave
A beautiful prison that I'm addicted to save
The world is a blur, but your face is so clear
Push the pedal down just to keep you near
Ooh, I'm spinning out, caught in the rhythm of your lies
Chasing a signal that only fades as the sun begins to rise

[Bridge]
The dashboard lights flicker like a heart attack beat
My sin is the speed, my fear is the slow down, I repeat
You’re not here, you’re just a frequency in the air
But I need that sound, I need that magnetic despair.

[Chorus]
The Ghost in the Static, yeah, you’re the feedback I crave
A beautiful prison that I'm addicted to save
The world is a blur, but your face is so clear
Push the pedal down just to keep you near
Ooh, I'm spinning out, caught in the rhythm of your lies
Chasing a signal that only fades as the sun begins to rise
