Static Serenade

(Verse 1) Woke up to static, another day in this rut Same cracked TV dinner, same dust on the welcome mat Head feels like a hornet's nest, buzzing with discontent Another cog in the machine, another dollar spent (Chorus) This apathy's a cage, bars made of flickering light Trapped in a world of reruns, nothing feels quite right Searching for an escape hatch, a reason to ignite But the spark's all used up, just fading embers in the night (Verse 2) Stale air hangs heavy, thick with unspoken lies Faces plastered on billboards, with their vacant, plastic eyes Teachers drone on and on, about a future so unclear Lost in the chorus of voices, the ones I long to hear (Chorus) This apathy's a cage, bars made of flickering light Trapped in a world of reruns, nothing feels quite right Searching for an escape hatch, a reason to ignite But the spark's all used up, just fading embers in the night (Bridge) Is this all there is? A hollow, manufactured dream? Is there a way to break free, or is this all it seems? Aching for a revolution, a chance to scream and shout But the words all get choked back, buried by the doubt (Chorus) This apathy's a cage, bars made of flickering light Trapped in a world of reruns, nothing feels quite right (Verse 1) Woke up to static, another day in this rut Same cracked TV dinner, same dust on the welcome mat Head feels like a hornet's nest, buzzing with discontent Another cog in the machine, another dollar spent (Chorus) This apathy's a cage, bars made of flickering light Trapped in a world of reruns, nothing feels quite right Searching for an escape hatch, a reason to ignite But the spark's all used up, just fading embers in the night (Verse 2) Stale air hangs heavy, thick with unspoken lies Faces plastered on billboards, with their vacant, plastic eyes Teachers drone on and on, about a future so unclear Lost in the chorus of voices, the ones I long to hear (Chorus) This apathy's a cage, bars made of flickering light Trapped in a world of reruns, nothing feels quite right Searching for an escape hatch, a reason to ignite But the spark's all used up, just fading embers in the night (Bridge) Is this all there is?
