[Verse 1] The eyes keep flickering cold There’s no face there to hold Just glass buried in the rubble And every color starts to crumble [Pre-Chorus] You scroll right through my laughter But you don't see me in it Everything shines for just a moment Then judgment starts to spin it [Chorus] Screens can lie so clean Screens can lie so clean They sell you half-truth scenes Then leave you on your own Don’t build me up from static When all I wear is chrome and chrome Screens can lie so clean And I won’t take that in as home [Verse 2] Your thumb already knows the route Like a blade straight through my nerve A heart made out of cold flat glass And I’m left outside the curve [Pre-Chorus] You scroll right through my laughter But you don’t see me at all It shines for just a second Then it tips and starts to fall [Chorus] Screens can lie so easily Screens can lie so easily They show you only half the truth And leave you on your own Don’t build me some real life When I’m just shadowed up and shown Screens can lie so easily And I don’t trust them anymore [Bridge] [Spoken deep!, resonant male voice, divine, like warm thunder, slow and majestic] Und ich frag mich leise, wann ich so geworden bin Mit dem Blick nur noch nach außen, ohne Halt darin Vielleicht hab ich mich auch selber schon zu oft verstellt Bis ich mich in jedem Feed nur noch selber seh [Outro–crossover - Guitar Solo ] You're searching for a sign But only find your face What glows, will slowly dine Till nothing holds its place Screens are lying, plain to see Lying, lying, yes indeed Showing only half the truth And leaving you alone, no youth Don't build me a life that looks real When all I get are shadows in the frame Screens are always full of lies And I won't let you play that game play that game play that game play that game
