[Verse 1

I used to see stars in every night sky

Now I only see my reflection in pixels passing by

Moments slip away in the hum of a low-lit glow

Wondering when I lost the wonder I used to know

[Chorus

The glare of the screen keeps me awake

Makes me forget what it’s like to take a breath and wait

I’m pinned by the glow I’ve grown to need

While outside, a silent world calls for me

[Verse 2

Time used to feel endless, like a gentle tide

Now each minute’s measured, scrolling side to side

I trade my living room light for a filtered hue

As the real world dims behind everything I do

[Chorus

The glare of the screen keeps me awake

Makes me forget what it’s like to take a breath and wait

I’m pinned by the glow I’ve grown to need

While outside, a silent world calls for me

[Bridge

(Soft instrumental, faint echoes)

I see the faint reflection of who I could be

A silhouette in the glass, longing to break free

From the constant feed that claims my night

Maybe if I close my eyes, I’ll find a different light

[Chorus (Reprise)

The glare of the screen keeps me awake

Makes me forget what it’s like to take a breath and wait

I’m pinned by the glow I’ve grown to need

While outside, a silent world calls for me
