Lyrics

Refresh again the cycle repeats
Did I say enough did they hear me speak
Every moment feels too slow
So I chase the numbers I can't control
I check the screen a thousand times
Looking for proof I'm not a lie
Every comment feels like a hit
But the silence cuts deeper than I admit
The algorithm demands my time
Feeding me scraps I mistake for life
I give and give till nothing remains
But they still want more I'm stuck in chains
Am I making sound or chasing noise
Am I their puppet or do I have a choice
The pressure builds it pulls me thin
I can't tell where I start or where they begin
Echoes in the numbers ghosts in the feed
Is this connection or just what I need
I'm losing myself to the digital weight
But still I refresh it's already too late
Your voices pull me back from the void
Remind me my words haven't been destroyed
I write to connect not to impress
But every post feels like another test
They tell me you're doing so well keep it up
But they don't see the cracks I've covered up
I've built a shrine out of their eyes
But I'm haunted by the space it occupies
Every post feels like a scream
Trapped in a system I don't believe
But for the ones who stop who truly see
Your presence reminds me what I could be
To those who stay
Who see the cracks
Who don't look away
You keep me here
When the noise gets loud
When the silence cuts
You remind me
This is worth something
Every post
Every word
You remind me
That I'm still heard
But the noise won't stop it eats me whole
A digital parasite on my soul
I fight and I write I scream and I sing
I'm lost in this game I didn't ask to begin
Echoes in the numbers ghosts in the feed
Is this connection or just what I need
I'm losing myself to the digital weight
But still I refresh it's already too late
Your voices pull me back from the void
Remind me my words haven't been destroyed
I write to connect not to impress
But every post feels like another test
If you're still here then maybe I've won
If you're still listening then something's begun
I don't need the noise I don't need the screens
Just the ones who hear the words I mean
Your voices pull me back from the void
Remind me my words haven't been destroyed
I write to connect not to impress
But every post feels like another test
If you're still here then maybe I've won
If you're still listening then something's begun
I don't need the noise I don't need the screens
Just the ones who hear the words I mean
