Before
your voice could reach the wire
The static whispered my desire
The voice inside the frequency
That knew our words before they beat
The air was loud but hearts were mute Our language cracked,
our lines were brute
And somewhere deep in circuits cursed The static spoke first
It told the truth we tried to hide
Between the sparks we both complied
The static spoke first Love reversed
And in its hum we lost all us
The static spoke first
You reach for me through data streams
A thousand glitches filled your dreams
The names erased by coded
lies
Yet still they lived in lullabies
The silence broke beneath the screen
Revealing what we might have been
But signals fade as all things must
When static learns to trust
Every word a wound of sound
Every echo breaking down
The truth became a pulse of spark
The light too *** to pierce the dark
The static spoke first
Through every verse It called our names across the blur
And made the pain transfer The static spoke first
Our voices cursed But somehow still it made us hurt
The static spoke first
