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
