Pixel skin

dark acoustic shoegaze, 82 BPM, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, close-mic baritone vocals, delicate falsetto, airy backing harmonies, melodic fretless bass, soft brush percussion, faint electric guitar harmonics, spring reverb, tape saturation, parallel compression, field recordings, gentle dynamic lift, bittersweet release, hushed intimacy

Hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Blue light on my face again Fake smile, plastic grin Scroll my life in little squares Hide the cracks, pretend it’s fair You see the glow, but not the ache This mirror never lets me break I wear my pixel skin So no one sees within A perfect ghost, online, alive But offline, I barely survive Do you want the truth or just the view? I’m not the version built for you Hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hearts and likes, they come and go But nothing fills the undertow Edit pain until it's clean Frame the void in black and green I fade into a dopamine My real face lost behind the screen I wear my pixel skin So no one sees within A perfect ghost, online, alive But offline, I barely survive Do you want the truth or just the view? I’m not the version built for you What if I showed you the cracks? What if I never came back? Would you still follow me there Where no filters clear the air? I wear my pixel skin It’s thin, it’s cold, it lets you in But not too far, not to the core No one wants the real anymore... Hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm
