[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Screen’s glow paints my face in blue,
Hours bleed, but the world’s on mute.
Grass outside, I forget its smell,
Trapped in a loop where my thoughts just dwell.
Scroll through lives I’ll never know,
Fingers dance, but my heart’s too slow.
[Instrumental Break 1]
[Chorus]
Pixels burn, they steal my days,
Life’s a ghost in a digital maze.
Every click pulls me further apart,
Missing the beat of a real-world heart.
Oh, I’m fading, a shadow online,
Chasing a spark that I’ll never find.
[Verse 2]
Tab’s open, ten more in a row,
Notifications buzz, but they’re hollow, you know.
Friends’ faces trapped in a 4K frame,
Laughs through speakers don’t feel the same.
Sunset’s out there, painting the sky,
But I’m wired in, watching time slip by.
[Instrumental Break 2]
[Bridge]
I used to run through fields, feel the dirt on my hands,
Now my skin’s pale from a monitor’s trance.
The wind’s a stranger, the stars are a myth,
Replaced by a cursor that blinks like it’s pissed.
I’d trade this glow for a moment outside,
But my soul’s stuck streaming, with nowhere to hide.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus - Variation]
Pixels flare, they drown my nights,
Life’s a blur in these cold, dead lights.
Every swipe cuts me deeper still,
Missing the rush of a world that’s real.
Oh, I’m lost, a glitch in the code,
Carrying dreams that my screen can’t hold.
[Outro]
Screen goes black, but I’m still awake,
Mourning the life that I didn’t take.
