[Intro] The screen is breathing in the dark Blue light crawling on the wall A voice says stay where you are Another voice says trust us all [Verse] Coffee cold and curtains drawn Sirens bloom behind the glass Every headline marches on Every second built to last Someone screams in perfect tone Someone smiles with sharpened teeth I am watching all alone While the signal watches me [Pre-Chorus] And the ticker crawls like insects Across the bottom of my mind Every fact gets cut in pieces Every lie is underlined [Chorus] Static at 3AM The truth is breaking up again Static at 3AM The anchors smile and count to ten Static at 3AM They sell the fear, we buy the flame Static at 3AM And no one knows who lit the game [Verse] Breaking news from nowhere town Experts fighting through the feed Every whisper wears a crown Every wound becomes a need Neighbors turn to enemy Friends get lost in comment wars I can hear the factory Making rage behind the doors [Pre-Chorus] And the screen says keep on staring There is danger in your bed There is poison in your brother There are strangers in your head [Chorus] Static at 3AM The truth is breaking up again Static at 3AM The anchors smile and count to ten Static at 3AM They sell the fear, we buy the flame Static at 3AM And no one knows who lit the game [Instrumental] Static rising Glass wires humming Drums like footsteps Bad news coming [Bridge] I saw my face inside the broadcast I saw my pulse beneath the crawl I heard my name between the adverts I heard the studio walls [Breakdown] Wake up Tune in Break down Begin Fear sells Truth bends Click once It spreads [Build-up] Every channel says the same thing Every channel says it first Every channel says the ending Every channel makes it worse [Chorus] Static at 3AM The truth is breaking up again Static at 3AM The anchors smile and count to ten Static at 3AM They sell the fear, we buy the flame Static at 3AM And no one knows who lit the game [Chorus] Static at 3AM The room is shaking in my head Static at 3AM The living envy all the dead Static at 3AM I hear the anthem through the rain Static at 3AM The news is laughing through the pain [Outro] The screen is breathing in the dark Blue light crawling on the wall A voice says stay where you are A voice says nothing at all
