Static // BΛRBIΞXX (c) 2025
Static and I can't see
The wrong turn got ahold of me
I wander into where you are
But there's something that just won't let me go
Tried to walk away from here
Yet I can't get beyond the fear
I call your name and then I fall
When I'm drowning no one hears me call
I don't know how to change
There is another place
But it won't do
It takes a bite out of the best of me
I know that sounds a little underneath
It just can't let me go
Locked me into its soul
But I'm not here
I cannot inhale the waters under there
Static and I can't go
Stuck within this body hold
I wish there was another place to be
I just wake up without a source of me
Tried to just surrender here
Letting go of what else could appear
It bites down harder when I fight
I tried to run but I don't know how to climb
I don't know how to change
There is another place
But it won't do
It takes a bite out of the best of me
I know that sounds a little underneath
It just can't let me go
Locked me into its soul
But I'm not here
I cannot inhale the waters under there
Static stops the lullaby
Calling from the other side
I press my ear against the cold
Stuck to the stories I'm being told
The quiet pulls me underground
Where every bone remembers sound
A haunted choir humming in my chest
A warning that I’ll never fully rest
I don’t know how to change
It falls through locked up chains
It takes a bite into my peace
Dragging down whatever’s left of me
It still won’t let me go
Keeps pulling at my soul
And I’m not here
I’m sinking into the water when its under here
- Barbara Christensen
And that's what it feels like....
