Lyrics
Midnight static on a bedroom wall
Waiting on a caller that'll never call
Too many eyes on a curated life
Trading my peace for a scrolling strife
Empty buzz pressing on my thumb
A million notifications making me numb
I close my eyes but the blue light stays
Trapped in a loop for days and days
So I'm pulling the plug, fading to black
Deleting the profile, I ain't looking back
Digital exhaustion heavy on my chest
Setting my boundaries, putting it to rest
Leaving the grid, breaking the screen
Craving a peace that's the real scene
Screen time high, but my energy's low
Feeding a machine that I don't even know
They want the highlight reel, they want the art
But nobody's checking for the human heart
So I'm flipping the switch, taking the dive
Gotta lose the connection just to feel alive
Airplane mode till the static clears out
Done with the validation, done with the doubt
So I'm pulling the plug, fading to black
Deleting the profile, I ain't looking back
Digital exhaustion heavy on my chest
Setting my boundaries, putting it to rest
Leaving the grid, breaking the screen
Craving a peace that's the real scene
Black screen reflection
Finally quiet
No notifications
Just the room
Just breathing
Offline
