Eternity in Static (v.2)

I counted the stars until they blurred into noise,
Wrote your name in the dust of distant worlds.
Every signal I send just returns as a ghost,
A reflection of something I've already lost.

(Pre-Chorus)
And the silence between beats
Is longer than any song.
Eternity isn't forever —
It's where you don't belong.

(Chorus)
Eternity in static,
Forever in the hum.
I'm learning to love the way
The light goes numb.
Eternity in static,
No beginning, no end.
Just the quiet after the transmission,
And the space where you've been.

(Verse 2)
They say time is a river, but I think it's a wall —
Every moment a brick that I can't move at all.
I press my ear to the surface, I hear a faint drone,
The sound of a universe dying alone.

(Pre-Chorus)
And the echo of your voice
Has decayed into a tone.
Eternity isn't forever —
It's learning to be alone.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Nothing lasts. Nothing fades.
Everything just rearranges.
You are static in the static,
I am changes in the changes.

(Final Chorus — stripped back, then builds)
Eternity in static...
(soft) Forever in the hum...
(building) I'm learning to love the way
(powerful) THE LIGHT GOES NUMB.
Eternity in static...
(echoing) No beginning, no end...
(fading) Just the quiet after the transmission...

(Outro)
And the space...
Where you've been...
(sound dissolves into soft, warm static and a single, distant tone)
