[Intro] [Verse] Never been more visible and never felt more gone Every room is full of noise but something's always wrong Speak and get an echo back but nothing that connects Present in the moment but already chasing what comes next Gave away the hours to a world that never asked Wore the crowded rooms so long forgot what lay beneath the mask Laughing at the right times, saying what they need to hear Getting good at being there while slowly disappearing Missed the calls that mattered for the ones that never did Traded real for comfortable and buried what was hid Every conversation ends before it starts to breathe Reaching out to everyone and touching nothing underneath [Pre-Chorus] Ain't about the distance, ain't about the miles It's standing in a room full of people and forgetting how to smile [Chorus] We're never alone — alone Closer than we've ever been Further from a home [Verse 2] Everyone is reachable but no one's really reached Every word gets broadcast but the meaning gets bleached Kept the peace so long forgot what fighting for felt like Swallowed every sharp edge just to keep the room polite Let the ones who knew you drift until they didn't know Told yourself you'd reach back out but never let it show Filled the silence with whatever kept the quiet at bay Woke up one morning and the people all had walked away Something slipped away that was never yours to lose The part that holds you steady when you got nothing left to choose Proximity without weight, connection without cost Something in the in-between got swallowed by the noise [Pre-Chorus] Ain't a broken generation, ain't a thing that fades It's the price of living outward while the inner self decays [Chorus] We're never alone — alone Closer than we've ever been Further from a home [Bridge] They called it public health crisis, put the numbers on the page Fifteen cigarettes a day the cost of living in this age Traded depth for reach and called the bargain progress Every gain in volume came with something we can't process Let the old connections thin and told ourselves we're fine Didn't notice what was lost until we'd crossed the line Built the most connected world that anyone has seen The loneliest we've ever been And we've never been this loud [Final Chorus] We're never alone — alone Closer than we've ever been Further from a home
