Pixels & Tears

(Soft, lo-fi piano chords with a heavy vinyl crackle. The sound of rain playing faintly in the background. Vocals are clean, intimate, and raw with a wide stereo reverb.)

I’m staring at a screen that used to flash your name

Now it’s just a blank space, playing out your game

You deleted every memory, wiped the hard drive clean

Leaving me to wonder what the hell did any of it mean?

(A soft, 140 BPM pop-trap percussion pattern kicks in. The bass is a warm, rolling 808 sub—not distorted yet. Delivery is melancholic and smooth.)

I saw you online, but you’re miles away (SO FAR)

Ghosting my updates, with nothing to say (SILENT)

I look at old pictures, the colors are fading to gray (FADING)

A digital graveyard where all of our promises lay.

I’m stuck in the loading screen, waiting for you to reply (JUST WAITING)

While watching the battery on my poor heart slowly die.

(The trap drums drop out. A sweeping, emotional string section rises, layered with a pulsating future-bass synth chord progression.)

My screen is cracked, my vision is blurred

I’m drowning inside of your very last word

You left me on read, you left me to bleed

Is this the connection you really don't need?

I-I-I... I’m falling apart at the seams...

(Drums begin an intense, building triplet roll—crisp and organic, not electronic)

Lost in the code of your dreams...(LET IT RAIN!)

(A huge, emotional wall of sound. Beautiful, bright supersaw synths layered with a heavy, crashing bassline.)

Pixels and teers! (CRYING!)

Washing away all the years! (GONE!)

Lost in the glow of the screen!

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen!

Pixels and teers! (STILL HERE!)

Fighting my digital fears! (HELP ME!)

Disconnect me from the pain...Let it rain, let it rain.

(The heavy drop cuts cleanly back into the lo-fi pop beat. The contrast is sharp.)

You blocked my account but you’re still in my head (GET OUT)

Replaying the texts that you previously sent (I READ 'EM)

A beautiful avatar masking a cold, empty soul (HOLLOW)

You took all my data and took total control.

Now I'm just a glitch that you try to ignore

A corrupted file on your bedroom floor.

(Everything strips away except for a solitary, beautiful piano melody. Vocals are completely dry, close, and vulnerable)

Are you even real?

Or did I just program the way that I feel?

The signal is dying...

(A sudden, brief burst of digital static interrupts the piano)

And I’m tired of trying.

Pixels and teers! (CRYING!)

Washing away all the years! (GONE!)

Lost in the glow of the screen!

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen!

Pixels and teers! (STILL HERE!)

Fighting my digital fears! (HELP ME!)

Disconnect me from the pain...

Let it rain, let it rain.

(The heavy instruments fade out rapidly, leaving only a beautiful, ambient synth pad)

(Whispered vocals) Connection lost.
