“Still Here (In the Glow of the Screen)”

“Still Here (In the Glow of the Screen)” (Verse 1) The room hums low with the weight of machines, Flicker of pixels, my lifeline it seems. Sheets like chains, soft but they bind, Body’s a prison, but I live in my mind. A thousand worlds whisper my name, But when I log out, it’s all the same. Walls don’t answer, shadows don’t care, And silence hangs heavy in stale air. (Chorus) I’m so tired of tears, So tired of pretending I don’t disappear. I build my life out of borrowed dreams, Still here, still breathing, in the glow of the screen. (Verse 2) My kids in their worlds, and I don’t blame them, The distance is soft, but it feels like brim. Even love can’t bridge what pain has made, So I fade into the only place I’ve stayed. The games remember when the world forgets, Every quest a heartbeat, every pixel a breath. In WoW, in New World, in skies of red — I live while my body stays in bed. (Chorus) I’m so tired of tears, So tired of pretending I don’t disappear. I build my life out of borrowed dreams, Still here, still breathing, in the glow of the screen. (Bridge) Some call it hiding — I call it surviving, Finding color when the real world’s dying. If this is all I’ve got, then let me stay, Among ghosts and code where I can fade away. (Final Chorus) I’m so tired, but I’m still here, Still writing myself through the static and fear. The world forgot me, but my stories gleam, Still here, still dreaming, in the glow of the screen. (Outro) And maybe one day, when the light runs low, I’ll find myself somewhere the lost ones go. But until then, while my heart still leans — I’ll keep living in the glow of the screen.
