[Intro]
Soft pixels fade to gray, a silhouette that gleams
Behind the glow, I’m counting beams of borrowed dreams
[Verse 1]
I polish every post till the smile fits my face
Hide the storm inside, pretend I’m easy grace
The comments sew a crown, but I’m aching for release
In the mirror of my feed, the truth feels hard to seize
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep it steady, keep it bright, don’t let the rhythm break
But whispering in my chest says I’m more than what you take
[Chorus]
I’m running on a screen, a stage I can’t refuse
The curtain is my habit and I’m tired of the ruse
If I’m ever truly seen, I fear what I might find
So I breathe in pixels, and I breathe out the quiet mind
[Verse 2]
Filter the night, pretend the dawn is kind
Mask of flawless cadence, but I’m breaking line by line
The heartbeat behind the keyboard drums a louder cry
Quietly begging someone near to tell the truth to try
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep it steady, keep it bright, don’t let the rhythm break
But the wires hum with worries I can’t mute or fake
[Chorus]
I’m running on a screen, a stage I can’t refuse
The curtain is my habit and I’m tired of the ruse
If I’m ever truly seen, I fear what I might find
So I breathe in pixels, and I breathe out the quiet mind
[Bridge]
If I take off the mask, would the room still glow the same?
Would hearts stay close if I admit I’m not to blame?
[Chorus]
I’m running on a screen, a stage I can’t refuse
The curtain is my habit and I’m tired of the ruse
If I’m ever truly seen, I fear what I might find
So I breathe in pixels, and I breathe out the quiet mind
[Outro]
Let the quiet rise, let the real light show through
Not every post must be perfect to be true
