[Intro]
Quiet glow, a screen that never sleeps
I scroll through mirrors, shallow and steep
[Verse 1]
I used to chase a spark in every post I made
Polished lines, a perfect shade, a curated masquerade
But the pictures fade when I’m alone with my own ache
And the louder that I shout, the quieter my real heart breaks
[Pre-Chorus]
There was a time I wore a flawless mask
But the clock kept ticking, pulling back the veil I asked
[Chorus]
I want the truth that fits in my hands, not a borrowed light
Authenticity over applause, even when it’s rough and not so bright
Let me trade the hype for the breath I take when I’m sincere
In the quiet after the post, I’m finally here
[Verse 2]
A hundred likes, a hundred smiles that never reach my eyes
Behind the glossy filters, a space where genuine voice lies
I’m learning mercy for the flaws I keep inside my chest
To trade the staged applause for what I already possess
[Pre-Chorus]
If I slow down, I’ll hear the honest sound
A heartbeat steady, saying where I’m truly found
[Chorus]
I want the truth that fits in my hands, not a borrowed light
Authenticity over applause, even when it’s rough and not so bright
Let me trade the hype for the breath I take when I’m sincere
In the quiet after the post, I’m finally here
[Bridge]
Not every moment shines on a public screen
Some memories glow in rooms where real words mean
Voice to voice, not emoji to pretend
I’m choosing me, not what I project to mend
[Chorus]
I want the truth that fits in my hands, not a borrowed light
Authenticity over applause, even when it’s rough and not so bright
Let me trade the hype for the breath I take when I’m sincere
In the quiet after the post, I’m finally here
[Outro]
The feed can fade, but the wake of truth remains
I’ll carry these moments that stay when the crowd fades away
I’m here, I’m real, I’m simply me, and that’s enough
