[Verse 1: mild reverb, clear strong vocals, simple synth] We log in we’re ready to go Camera on but what do we show Staring back at my own face Wonder if I’m in the right place Am I muted? Can they hear me still The mic was on and I spoke too real Ate on screen didn’t mean to share Hope they didn’t see that awkward stare [Pre-Chorus: intensity builds] "Connection’s bad" is the perfect excuse But we all know you’re just running loose "Can’t hear you" but the truth’s right there Your sound’s turned off, like you don’t even care [Chorus: bass drop, layered vocals] Rows of faces, but none are clear We’re fading fast, still stuck right here Cameras off what’s the mystery Is there something they don’t want us to see Mute your mic don't make a mistake One wrong move’s all it takes [Verse 2] Bad hair day, the video’s gone Don’t need them judging what’s going on Who’s that coworker I talk to all day Never seen their face they’re MIA We laugh it off we play it cool But everyone’s lost breaking all the rules Are they even there or on the phone Guess we’ll never really know [Pre-Chorus] "Connection’s bad" is the perfect excuse But we all know you’re just running loose "Can’t hear you" but the truth’s right there Your sound’s turned off, like you don’t even care [Chorus] Rows of faces, but none are clear We’re fading fast, still stuck right here Cameras off what’s the mystery Is there something they don’t want us to see Mute your mic don't make a mistake One wrong move’s all it takes [Bridge: pull back] What are they wearing do they even care Behind the screen is anyone there We’re all in sync but out of time The virtual world where we draw the line [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] Rows of faces, but none are clear We’re fading fast, still stuck right here Cameras off what’s the mystery Is there something they don’t want us to see Mute your mic don't make a mistake One wrong move’s all it takes [Instrumental Break] [Outro: pull back, acoustic feel, subtle reverb, fade out] It’s a digital dance we’re all just faking Wondering if our image is breaking Mute the mic hide the face Still trying to keep up the pace
