Lyrics

The room is quiet now
The screen is dark
I pack the last of it
Into a cardboard box
I close the laptop that held the world
The vortex that swallowed everything
But the lid is shut and the light is gone
And the room is just a room again
Papers and cables on the floor
Books I never finished reading
I leave them all, I don't need them anymore
The road is waiting and I am leaving
The window down and the air comes in
Not digital, not simulated, just wind
The landscape passes like pages turned
Everything I was, everything I learned
I arrive at the lake in the afternoon light
The water is still and the world is quiet
No screen, no code, no hum in the night
Just the sound of the lake and the fading light
The house is small and it's mine to stay
No cables here, I threw them away
I sit on the dock and I pull out the phone
The last connection I've never let go
The screen lights up with her empty name
But the line is dead, it's always the same
I scroll through the messages one last time
The words that she wrote, the virtual lines
They meant something once or I thought they did
But the lake is real and the phone is a kid
I hold it in my hand, this little device
The last thread of a life built on lies
I could keep it, I could stay
I could let the vortex have another day
But I've come too far to turn around
The lake is patient and the water is sound
I press my thumb on the power switch
And the screen goes dark and the silence is rich
The phone leaves my hand in a quiet arc
No final words, no last remark
It hits the water with nothing more
Than a single ripple and then the shore
The water takes it, the lake is still
No sign of the screen, no sign of the thrill
And I am standing at the edge of the real
Letting the last of the digital heal
I turn around, no looking back
The house is waiting, the path is black
But the stars are out and the air is clean
And I have never been so free
The lake behind me, quiet, dark
I breathe
