Used to feel it in my ribs
Every risk, every win
Now it land a little flat
Like it barely sinkin’ in

Still wake up, still move clean
Still hit every in-between
But the spark that used to jump
Ain’t as loud as it would seem

Same goals.
Same drive.

But the color don’t hit as bright
Sunrise look like stage light
I clap, but it don’t excite

I’m not broken, I’m just quiet
Not depressed, just divided
Heartbeat steady on autopilot
Somewhere I went silent

Static in my chest
Can’t tell if it’s stress
Or I just got used to the pressure

Static in my chest
No pain, no mess
Just a hum where it used to register

Static in my chest
I’m still at my best
But I don’t feel the stretch

Static in my chest

Used to chase that rush of proof
Now I’m numb to the view
Every milestone pass through
Like it’s déjà vu

Laugh right, nod on cue
Say “I’m good,” it’s half-true
I ain’t lying, I just
Don’t feel it like I used to

No crash.
No fall.

Just a wall I can’t recall
When it got this tall
Or why it don’t feel wrong at all

I’m productive, I’m composed
I deliver what I owe
But somewhere in the glow
I stopped feelin’ the flow

Static in my chest
Can’t tell if it’s stress
Or I just adapted to pressure

Static in my chest
No tears to confess
Just a quiet disconnect

Static in my chest
Still movin’ ahead
But I miss when it meant somethin’

Static in my chest

Maybe this the cost of control
When you tighten every bolt
Maybe silence in the soul
A side effect of holdin’ roles

Or maybe I just need to rest
Let the armor off my chest
See if under all the stress
There’s a pulse I haven’t met

Static in my chest
I’m not a mess
I’m just learnin’ what’s left

Static in my chest
If I sit with it
Maybe it reset

Static in my chest
Still takin’ steps
But I want it to feel again

Static in my chest

Still here.
Just muted.
