shh… don’t zoom in too close. [Verse 1] Blue light on my pillow, 2 AM glow Scrolling like it’s oxygen, I don’t wanna let go Everybody’s got an opinion, everybody knows my name But they don’t know the version of me I never show on stage I can be brave in a comment thread Say what I mean with a screen instead If you see me buffering, don’t call it weak I’m just learning how to speak [Pre-Chorus] I keep my heart in airplane mode So it won’t crash when you get too close If I look flawless, it’s self-defense I learned to hide in the evidence [Chorus] Pixel perfect If you don’t look too hard I’m a masterpiece in fragments I’m a filter and a scar Pixel perfect I can pose, I can pretend You can love me in a screenshot But can you love me when it bends? Click, click—freeze my smile in place Make me safe in a smaller frame Pixel perfect But I’m breaking again [Verse 2] I’m cute, I’m quirky, I’m your comfort show A little glitter, a little chaos, watch me steal the glow But I’m tired of being “fine” in every little clip Tired of letting strangers hold the remote to my lips I keep receipts of every praise And screenshots of the hate for rainy days Laugh it off like it’s just a meme But it sticks inside my sleep [Pre-Chorus] I keep my tears on silent mode So nobody hears when I overload If I look flawless, it’s self-defense I learned to hide in the evidence [Chorus] Pixel perfect If you don’t look too hard I’m a masterpiece in fragments I’m a filter and a scar Pixel perfect I can pose, I can pretend You can love me in a screenshot But can you love me when it bends? Click, click—freeze my smile in place Make me safe in a smaller frame Pixel perfect But I’m breaking again [Bridge] Sometimes I feel more real When I’m someone you can’t touch When the world is just a headset And the rules don’t hurt as much Tell me I’m still me Even when I change the skin If I’m pixel-perfect, promise You’ll still let the human in —let the human in… let the human in… [Final Chorus] Pixel perfect If you don’t look too hard I’m a masterpiece in fragments I’m a filter and a scar Pixel perfect I can glow, I can defend You can love me in a screenshot But can you love me when it ends? Click, click—hold me like a phase Like I won’t slip, like I won’t change Pixel perfect But I’m real in the grain [Outro] don’t zoom in… i’m still loading.
