Battery heart, digital grin Signal strong but dead within Programmed warmth, rehearsed delight Flicker fading every night Static crawling through my veins Pretty face but overloaded brain Every laugh slightly delayed Like a glitch I can't evade Hold the frame Don't let it drop Keep the signal at the top I'm holding on to a static smile Frozen in denial Every second on display Feels mechanical and vile If the signal dies tonight Will anyone stay a while? Or just scroll past my static smile Compliments like flashing lights Short-term highs and endless nights Validation on repeat Heartbeat skipping every beat Noise inside Growing loud Drowning in a silent crowd I'm holding on to a static smile Frozen in denial Every second on display Feels mechanical and vile If the signal dies tonight Will anyone stay a while? Or just scroll past my static smile Cut the wire Kill the feed I am more than what you see Shatter every pixel lie Let the real me amplify No more static smile No more fake denial Every fracture amplified Breaking through the dial If the signal dies tonight Let the silence reconcile I'll never wear a static smile
