Filtered Quiet

[Intro] Soft filters glow in a pixel-perfect scene Keepspan smiles, a glossy magazine [Verse 1] Behind the posts, a streetlight hums a sigh Breath fogs the lens, truths begin to pry I polish every lie until it shines just right Cutting through the noise with a careful light [Pre-Chorus] I hear the cracks beneath the curated glaze But I tell myself it’s all part of the phase [Chorus] Keep it flawless, keep it bright Hide the fracture, guard the night If you peek too close, you’ll hear the chimes Dying inside, but perfect on the times [Verse 2] Notifications queue the air I breathe A gilded mask that never learns to weep The real world trembles, but I force a grin Typing a story where I’ll win again [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat travels through a glossy screen Every truth camouflaged in a digital sheen [Chorus] Keep it flawless, keep it bright Hide the fracture, guard the night If you peek too close, you’ll hear the chimes Dying inside, but perfect on the times [Bridge] What happens when the wall starts to crack? When the truth slips out and the photos go back Will I confess or pretend I’m still aligned? A quiet confession in the shadows I find [Chorus] Keep it flawless, keep it bright Hide the fracture, guard the night If you peek too close, you’ll hear the chimes Dying inside, but perfect on the times [Outro] When the screen fades, will the silence tell? Or will I post a dawn where I’m not telling?
