Champagne Static
Track 7 of Velvet Altitude
[ Lyrics ]
All this champagne static, can’t hear your love anymore. Lips move, but the signal’s weak, smile in the mirror, feel like a front-page leak. Another toast, another glass raised high, still searching for the sober in the neon lights. You say ‘I miss you,’ but it’s lost in the beat, I nod like I feel it, but I don’t feel a thing. Dancing through the echoes of what we once had, now it’s just glitter and bad vibrations. Static in the champagne bubbles, love turned to low-res trouble. I used to crave the way you held me close— now I need silence more than your promises. All this champagne static, can’t hear your love anymore. Lights flash, hearts crash, I’m out the door. All this champagne static, drowning out the truth, I used to need your whispers—now I need the proof. Saw you in the hallway, suit sharp as a blade, taunted me with memories I never saved. You leaned in slow like you own the room, but I’ve been healing in the quiet of my gloom. Now every laugh’s a shield, every glance a test, dressing up my courage in couture and sex. I sparkle on the surface, but inside I’m still raw— you don’t get to confuse me when I’m finally saw. The music hits harder when I’m on my own, love songs sound clearer through my headphones. I don’t need your drama, I don’t need your show— just a heartbeat steady beneath the strobe. Used to chase your shadow in every bright room, now I’m learning the weight of my own tune. Not every flash means feeling, not every touch is true— I’m done letting noise convince me I’m not through. All this champagne static, can’t hear your love anymore. Lights flash, hearts crash, I’m out the door. All this champagne static, drowning out the past, I don’t need your echo—I’m building something fast. Can’t hear your love… Just the silence…
