[Intro] One two three four! [Verse 1] The modem got shut off on a Tuesday afternoon Just a blinking light and a house too quiet I laughed and said I'll be alright Ten days ain't gonna ruin my life I made some coffee Read a little more Walked around the neighborhood Like everybody's always told me to do Then every empty hour grew teeth Every silent room knew my name Turns out I was borrowing strength From people I never met in my life [Pre Chorus] A colored username Some stupid emote A stranger saying hey man That was enough to keep me afloat [Chorus] Here's to every colored screenname I only know through songs and chat Never seen your face before But somehow you all had my back Funny how a thousand miles Can fit inside a glowing screen I thought I was getting stronger But maybe you all were helping me More than I knew More than I'd admit Sometimes community Looks exactly like this [Verse 2] The loudest voice inside my skull Worked overtime without a crowd Every little failure Started reading itself out loud It knows every regret Every embarrassing thing Every iteration of myself I wish I'd never been I kept arguing with thoughts Until I finally understood Distraction wasn't fixing me It was just holding back the flood [Bridge] Maybe healing isn't winning Maybe it's knowing when you're slipping Maybe asking for connection Isn't weakness after all Maybe every stupid meme Every terrible AI song Every late night conversation Was keeping one more light on [Final Chorus] Here's to every colored screenname Every weird musician here Posting songs and laughing Like nobody's carrying despair You probably never knew What your kindness really did You helped make ten impossible days Just survivable enough to live So here's another folk punk anthem Built from busted hearts and broken brains I'm still under construction But at least I finally know If writing this don't fix me Maybe it'll tell the truth Sometimes strangers hold together The parts that are falling through [Outro] One more song One more laugh One more stream I'm finally back Still a mess Still trying Still singing anyway.
