[Verse 1] City lights hum but they don’t say my name, Days on repeat, different dates, same frame. Phone full of noise, conversations thin, Everyone’s talking but nothing sinks in. I clock in, clock out, play human just fine, But my pulse goes quiet somewhere in the grind. I feed my tanks, watch creatures glide, More truth in their eyes than the streets outside. [Chorus] I’m more alive in fiction than I am right here, In borrowed worlds where the air feels clear. Call it escape, call it weakness or crime, But I breathe a little deeper on the other side. Yeah, I’m more alive in fiction, that’s the truth I found, When the real world feels flat and the colors drown. [Verse 2] Never fit the script they said I should play, Love like a checklist, life mapped out my way. I tried standing still where they told me to stand, But my soul kept reaching for uncharted land. I hear the wild call in a digital age, Ancient instincts trapped in a modern cage. I don’t need a crown, or a hero’s face, Just a place where meaning still holds its shape. [Chorus] I’m more alive in fiction than I am right here, In borrowed worlds where the air feels clear. Call it escape, call it weakness or crime, But I breathe a little deeper on the other side. Yeah, I’m more alive in fiction, that’s the truth I found, When the real world feels flat and the colors drown. [Verse 3] I know it’s all ink, pixels, sound and light, But it keeps me steady on the longest nights. While the world keeps asking me to be less me, Those worlds remind me what I still can be. I don’t hate this place, I just don’t belong, I’ve been translating silence into song. Maybe one day I’ll bridge the divide, Till then I survive where my spirit’s alive. [Chorus] I’m more alive in fiction than I am right here, In borrowed worlds where the air feels clear. Call it escape, call it weakness or crime, But I breathe a little deeper on the other side. Yeah, I’m more alive in fiction — no disguise, no friction, If that’s how I live… then that’s my composition.
