I scroll through faces made of light
They smile like gods in borrowed nights
I wear my pain in filtered gray
And pray that someone looks my way

Half a name, half awake
Still learning what it means to fake

Everybody shines, I just reflect
Burning for a love I can't protect
If I disappear, would someone detect?
Everybody shines, I just collect

I lose myself in hollow screens
A thousand hearts, but none between
They know my face, I don't know theirs
I fade to glow, then start again

I stay online, still waiting for them
If this is truth, then God, it's killing me again

Everybody shines, I just reflect
Burning for a love I can't protect
If I disappear, would someone detect?
Everybody shines, I just collect

(Scroll it slow), feed the need
(Eyes like gold), they never bleed
Hold me close through the machine
Tell me who I'm meant to be

Everybody shines, I just reflect
Craving for a pulse, I can't connect
If I disappear, would someone regret?
Everybody shines, I just forget

Everybody shines, I just reflect
Burning for a love I can't protect
If I disappear, would someone detect?
Everybody shines, I just collect
Still waiting for a real light
