[Verse 1]
Blue light glowing from a phone on the sheet While the midnight traffic crawls down on the street I watch the news feed spin like a carousel wheel Full of plastic smiles and hearts made of steel We’re all connected but we’re so far apart Building digital walls around the human heart I'm just a girl in her quiet room Wondering when this ships bout to go Boom!
[Chorus]
Looking out my window at the neon rust, wondering when we traded souls for digital dust.
I’m waving red flags like I’m landing a plane, Oh but everybody looks at me like I've just gone insane. Someone tell me how do I stop the pain, every dropped tear seems to bring all the rain. Hurry please before my fiery eyes start turnin' 2 ice runnin through my veins. Seems like everybody’s still just the same, The only difference now is they all know my name.
[Verse 2]
I see People trading souls for a little bit of praise Chasing shadows stuck in life’s maze don’t know about you oh but I know about me. I don’t see what the rest seem to see. No matter how strong I am when I find time to scream, I look around at you all but I’m
Never seen. The loneliest generation that the world’s ever seen.
[Chorus]
Looking out my window at the neon rust, wondering when we traded souls for digital dust.
I’m waving red flags like I’m landing a plane, Oh but everybody looks at me like I've just gone insane. Someone tell me how do I stop the pain, every dropped tear seems to bring all the rain. Hurry please before my fiery eyes start turnin' 2 ice runnin through my veins. Seems like everybody’s still just the same, The only difference now is they all know my name.
[Bridge]
Maybe the problem is we forgot how to look and feel the truth in the eyes instead of words in a book full of lies, I feel like a ghost standing right in the crowd Shouting for help but it's just not ever as loud No, it's never loud enough.
[Guitar Solo - Melancholic acoustic picking blending into a crying electric guitar]
[Chorus]
Looking out my window at the neon rust, wondering when we traded souls for digital dust.
I’m waving red flags like I’m landing a plane, Oh but everybody looks at me like I've just gone insane. Someone tell me how do I stop the pain, every dropped tear seems to bring all the rain. Hurry please before my fiery eyes start turnin' 2 ice runnin through my veins. Seems like everybody’s still just the same, The only difference now is they all know my name.
[Outro]
Yeah, they all wanna know my name...though I can’t help it’s Just to put it to shame. Breaks my heart that the worlds stuck In a singular view, John- 1:5 oohhh I pray the light can save you.. my room..
(Fades out with a slow, echoing acoustic strum)
