I speak fluent algorithm, people still confuse me AI reads the room better than the room reads through me Whole life compressed down, folders in a drive Everybody posting proof that they’re supposedly alive Blue light midnight, staring at a screen Tell my deepest secrets to a damn machine It remembers every word, people lose the thread Got a thousand connections, still alone in my head Analog heart with a digital pulse Truth gets blurry when the signal gets false I can patch broken code, roll the whole thing back But there ain’t Ctrl-Z when a heart gets cracked I’m a digital boy in a real world Ones and zeros trying to understand a real girl AI in my ear saying, “Here’s what it means” But love don’t come with updates and life ain’t a screen Digital boy in a real world Machine-made answers to a hand-made hurt I can optimize everything till the whole shit hurts I’m a digital boy in a real world Vinyl on the table, Bluetooth in the room Needle hits the groove while the low end booms Old photographs turning yellow with age You can’t swipe left on a goddamn page Machine learning learns from every mistake People fuck it up twice then call that shit fate Data can describe rain, model every cloud But it can’t smell the pavement when it starts coming down Maybe every flaw is what makes something true Maybe five billion answers can’t tell me what to do So I shut the laptop, let the black screen sit No feed, no search, just the old clock tick I’m a digital boy in a real world Ones and zeros trying to understand a real girl AI in my ear saying, “Here’s what it means” But love don’t come with updates and life ain’t a screen Digital boy in a real world Machine-made answers to a hand-made hurt Fuck the signal if it dies, I still know what I heard I’m a digital boy in a real world No backup No reset No second chance Digital boy Real world
