From the recording Online Lover
Lyrics
We built towers to the sky
To whisper closer, you and I
But somewhere in the frequency
I lost the sound of you and me
Pixels where your face should be
A heart replaced by emoji
Speaking now in emptiness
In double-taps and loneliness
Tangled in invisible thread
A million voices in my head
But silence is the loudest sound
When no one's really around
We're wired in but fading out
Swimming in an endless drought
Of something real, something true
I'm reaching through the glass for you
We used to get lost together
No compass, no plan, just weather
Now we're tracked and time-stamped, seen
But have we ever really been?
Curated lives on endless scroll
We're trading pieces of our soul
For validation's gentle glow
The loneliest we'll ever know
Tangled in invisible thread
A million voices in my head
But silence is the loudest sound
When no one's really around
We're wired in but fading out
Swimming in an endless drought
Of something real, something true
I'm reaching through the glass for you
If I turned it off tonight
Would you notice I'm not online?
If I disappeared from every feed
Would you wonder where I'd been?
Signal loss... signal loss...
We're here but we're not
Signal loss... signal loss...
Forgot what we forgot...
