[Verse] Started young with avatars and screen names Typing out my feelings in a chat room cage Even then I knew something wasn't right Choosing pixels over playgrounds every night Late night chats and phantom friends Learning how to pretend this never ends Built my world inside a glowing box While the real one slowly stops [Pre-Chorus] This has been my whole life Digital knife Cutting me away from what's real This has been my whole life Can't even feel [Chorus] I'm always online but I'm always alone Thousand friends but nobody knows I'm drowning in the noise, can't hear my own voice Always alone, always alone Watch the world through this glowing screen Living other people's dreams I'm drowning in the noise, can't find my own voice Always alone, always alone [Verse] Now I can't eat without the perfect shot Can't feel a moment 'til I share what I got Even my breakdowns get the right lighting Every real thought needs better writing Say I'm unplugging but I post about it Scream I'm authentic but I have to shout it Can't find a feeling that isn't for show Performance of someone I used to know [Pre-Chorus] This has been my whole life Digital knife Cutting me away from what's real This has been my whole life Can't even feel [Chorus] I'm always online but I'm always alone Thousand friends but nobody knows I'm drowning in the noise, can't hear my own voice Always alone, always alone Watch the world through this glowing screen Living other people's dreams I'm drowning in the noise, can't find my own voice Always alone, always alone [Breakdown] This song will get a thousand streams and I'll still be alone Feed me crumbs, keep me hungry Show me faces, keep me empty Just enough to keep me scrolling Never enough to stop the falling Built to break me, built to take me Built to fake what I've been craving ALWAYS ONLINE, ALWAYS ALONE ALWAYS ONLINE, ALWAYS ALONE [Chorus] I'm always online but I'm always alone Thousand friends but nobody knows I'm drowning in the noise, can't hear my own voice Always alone, always alone Watch the world through this glowing screen Living other people's dreams I'm drowning in the noise, can't find my own voice Always alone, always alone
