“Call Sign”
Verse 1:
Red lights blur in the rearview haze
I’m screaming into static waves
You said, “I’ll find you if it kills me”
But the silence just repeats
I paint your name in frost on glass
This city blinks and time won’t pass
I’ve searched each shadow, street, and sign
But you’ve been ghosting all this time
Pre-Chorus:
And I’m burning through the nights you left behind
Clutching echoes like a lifeline
Chorus:
Lost angel on the bay
But I keep phoning home
Call sign whispered, save our soul
You’re MIA, I’m here alone
I trace the stars like scars you drew
Still calling out, still chasing you
The world’s gone loud, but I stay tuned
To the last song I heard from you
Verse 2:
Your jacket’s hanging by the door
As if you’d crash in like before
I’ve memorized each coded breath
A secret love in silhouette
You lit me up, then pulled the fuse
Now I’m stuck singing to the bruise
The skyline holds our final scene
A flare burned out in dopamine
Pre-Chorus:
I swore I’d wait, but hope don’t pay the rent
And my patience is long spent
Chorus:
Lost angel on the bay
But I keep phoning home
Call sign whispered, save our soul
You’re MIA, I’m here alone
I trace the stars like scars you drew
Still calling out, still chasing you
The world’s gone loud, but I stay tuned
To the last song I heard from you
Bridge:
Is there a signal I missed?
Did I break the transmission?
I’ve been dialing through the dark,
Praying you’re still listenin’
Marked classified, no trace or trail
Now I’m just wreckage on an open channel
Breakdown:
Say you’ll break comms silence, just one time
Say you’ll send coordinates, drop a sign
Final Chorus:
Lost angel on the bay
But I keep phoning home
Call sign whispered, save our soul
You’re MIA, I’m here alone
The frequencies are fading fast
But I won’t quit until I crash
The static sings, the stars still glow—
I’ll die screaming through the radio
