Fleeting Flame

[Intro] Click, fade, like a spark in a storm-lit sky Whispers ride the net like sparks that never die [Verse 1] You woke to a hundred thousand bright eyes in a flood Screens become stage lights, your name on every muddy plug Faces change like trends that drift through a careless wind You ride the wave of fame, but the tide forgets to end [Pre-Chorus] And you chase the echo of a moment that won’t stay A million hearts pretend to know you anyway [Chorus] Fade in a flash, fade out in a scroll You’re the headline of today, but tomorrow you’re old Invisible again, where the quiet begins to glow Fleeting flame, where did all the bright colors go? [Verse 2] Comments like cold rain, applause that dries so soon Your shadow learns the corners of a room you never knew They screenshot the laughter, monetize the sighs You’re still inside the square, but the world says goodbye [Pre-Chorus] And you plead for a memory that doesn’t fade away A honest face behind the pixels that remain [Chorus] Fade in a flash, fade out in a scroll You’re the headline of today, but tomorrow you’re old Invisible again, where the quiet begins to glow Fleeting flame, where did all the bright colors go? [Bridge] Off the feed, you find a quieter air to breathe A slower heartbeat where real rhythms weave Not the chorus of strangers, just a softer note in store Here in the hush you learn what fame was for [Chorus] Fade in a flash, fade out in a scroll You’re the headline of today, but tomorrow you’re old Invisible again, where the quiet begins to glow Fleeting flame, where did all the bright colors go? [Outro] Leaves fall in the inbox of the night You trade the glare for a small, unbroken light
