Midnight Scroll

Staring at the screen in the dead of night Scrolling through the shadows of a fading light Everybody's smiling in a perfect frame But nobody is calling out my secret name Double-tapping pictures just to feel alive Lost inside a world where only ghosts survive Another bitter sip from an empty cup Waiting for a stranger just to wake me up The clock is ticking but the hours freeze Caught up in the middle of these memories Yeah, I am drowning in a sea of blue Trying not to think about the ghost of you Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, mm-mm-mm Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, yeah-yeah See a familiar face in a crowded room But it's just a pixel in the lonely gloom They're dancing on the beach under neon skies While I am hiding truths behind a thousand lies I know it's superficial, yeah, I know it's fake But it's the only habit that I cannot break A million pretty stories that I'll never know Just another echo in the lifestyle show The clock is ticking but the hours freeze Caught up in the middle of these memories Yeah, I am drowning in a sea of blue Trying not to think about the ghost of you Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, mm-mm-mm Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, yeah-yeah Midnight scroll, yeah, it takes its toll Losing control of my heavy soul Midnight scroll, where the feelings go Everything is moving but it feels so slow Maybe I should put the phone away tonight Find a little peace without the artificial light But the silence hits me and the cravings grow Back into the cycle where the shadows flow The notification banner doesn't even blink Left alone with every single thought I think Wandering through timelines that are not my own Surrounded by a million but I'm still alone I wonder if you're out there doing just the same Stuck inside the matrix of a losing game The battery is dying but I need one more Searching for the feeling that I had before Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, mm-mm-mm Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, yeah-yeah Midnight scroll, yeah, it takes its toll Losing control of my heavy soul Midnight scroll, where the feelings go Everything is moving but it feels so slow
