Dead Batteries by Vexa Moon

Dead Batteries

Verse 1
I gave you sparks, you took the flame,
Left me standing in the dark again.
Late-night calls, emergency plans,
I was the wire, you were the demand.
Every promise plugged into you,
But the outlet’s cold, nothing’s coming through.

Pre-Chorus
I keep shaking this remote control,
But the screen just flickers, won’t take the soul.

Chorus
I’m running on dead batteries,
Still trying to power your fantasies.
I drained myself just to keep you lit,
Now I’m empty and you don’t notice it.
Yeah, I’m screaming in static frequencies,
Love shouldn’t feel like a disease.
I gave you everything I had to see—
All that’s left is dead batteries.
(Dead, dead—nothing left in me)

Verse 2
I was your backup, your spare, your shield,
Every crack you never tried to heal.
I charged your nights, your highs, your lows,
While my own light faded slow.
Funny how you only hit my line
When your world’s dying and mine’s on fire.

Pre-Chorus
I keep tapping the glass, hoping you’ll see,
But you’re full power blind to me.

Bridge
I don’t need saving, I need release,
From a love that’s all take, no peace.
If it costs my soul just to make you shine,
Then I’m cutting the cord, reclaiming mine.
I’d rather sit alone in the dark
Than burn my last spark on a dying heart.

Breakdown
Click—nothing
Buzz—no sound
Tried to revive it, I’m breaking down
(Wake me up… or let me die)

Final Chorus
I was running on dead batteries,
Still believing you’d come back to me.
But I won’t light myself on fire again
Just to warm your hands in the end.
Yeah, I’m done with your empty needs,
I deserve more than apologies.
You can keep what you never gave to me—
I’m done living on dead batteries.
(Dead, dead—finally free)

Outro
I’ll find a charge in a brand-new place,
New connections, a different pace.
You can keep the dark you handed me—
I’m walking away…
No batteries.
