Polished Empathy!

[Verse 1] Framed inside the windowpane, Identical towers flicker in the rain. Everyone sending signals endlessly, Millions of lights crossing through the night sky— Yet not a single one reaches my room. The synthetic silence in the gloom Makes my heartbeat echo loud. [Pre-Chorus] Like emotions filtered through a translator, Rows of perfectly polished empathy. Those smiling faces beyond the screen— Are they breathing, or is it just a scene? I scroll, consume, and disappear, While my outline melts away. [Chorus] We are digital ghosts, Lonely dots drowning in a sea of light. With voices crossing the globe in a second, We still can’t find a reason To knock on the neighbor's door. In this perfect world where everyone is connected, We’re searching for pain that still feels alive. [Verse 2] Invisible gears kindly calculate, “The perfect feeling for today.” Joy, anger, sorrow, love— Tagged and packaged, tossed into a cart, Consumed one by one, breaking apart. When was the last time I truly felt the warmth of real tears? [Bridge] The more we beg for a connection, The more we lose our own reflection. In the black mirror of a sleeping screen, An exhausted face is all that can be seen. Someone without a voice Is staring back at me. [Chorus] We are digital ghosts, Lonely dots drowning in a sea of light. With voices crossing the globe in a second, We still can’t find a reason To knock on the neighbor's door. In this perfect world where everyone is connected, We’re searching for pain that still feels alive. [Outro] Hello... is anybody out there? Reaching toward invisible waves in the air. Somewhere inside this electronic flood, Our imperfect selves remain hidden in the static. Waiting for a morning to reveal A moment where we can touch for real. (Is anybody out there...?) Fading slowly into the silence.
