Lyrics

[Refrain]
Must I sell my soul just to trend?
Will it take me high?
Strip my privacy's weight?
Am I more than data's mark?
[Break]
Digi-
Digi-
-tal chains that bind me tight, screens alight
Fading out the stars above, in the glow of shallow love
Lost within the feed, where our hearts just bleed
Viral is the creed, in the age of speed
[Verse 3]
Scrolling through the void, real life's now decoyed
Human touch reduced to stats, we're just info acrobats
Liking for some love, we're slaves to the ping
Chasing after pixels that make our phones sing
Follows are the currency, dead under these lights
Selling our souls for a moment in the spotlight
[Chorus]
In the maze of machines, we forget to feel
Trading flesh and bone for the digital reel
[Verse 4]
Hearts auctioned off with a mouse click beat
Swapping dreams for likes in a virtual retreat
Faces turning pale from the glow of the screen
We're drifting apart in the stream's routine
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, where's the human in the username?
Caught in the web of this digital game
