[start] [Intro: Soft pulsing synth drone, distant reverberant footsteps; a heartbeat rhythm fades in slowly] [Instrumental only – a sense of emptiness, waiting for recognition] [Verse 1] Every eye becomes a mirror, Every word a kind of prayer. I dress the silence up in color, Hoping someone’s standing there. I build a truth I can’t sustain, A version made to please the crowd. But every echo sounds the same, And none of them are loud. [Chorus] I’m hunting for attention, In the quiet and the glare. A shadow of intention, Pretending not to care. I’m hunting for attention, In reflections I can’t trust. Every glance a confession, Every heartbeat turns to dust. [Verse 2] I speak in ways that hide my name, Learned to smile through every pain. The faces change but feel the same, The spotlight soft, but still it drains. And in the noise, I lose my core, A stranger knocks inside my chest. What I wanted once means less and less — But I can’t forget the rest. [Chorus] I’m hunting for attention, In the quiet and the glare. A shadow of intention, Pretending not to care. I’m hunting for attention, In reflections I can’t trust. Every glance a confession, Every heartbeat turns to dust. [Bridge: Slow build – low synth pad swells beneath whispering vocal harmonies] The eyes that find me never stay, They pass like ghosts, then fade away. But still I reach for what I’ve known, Afraid of peace, afraid alone. [Chorus: Expanded — layered harmonies, slow modulation upward] I’m hunting for attention, A fragile spark that burns too bright. A fleeting form of connection, That disappears in the light. I’m hunting for attention, Where no one truly sees. An empty kind of comfort — A wound I never ease. [Outro: Ambient reverb tails, single synth note fading like a sigh] [Whispered vocal ad-lib: “Do you see me… or just my reflection?”] [end]
