READ ZER0

2AM
Notifications glow
But not the name I wanted most

Through my headphones
An ocean of noise
Don’t leave me here alone tonight

Only my fingers keep scrolling on
Still trying hard to hold this day

A tiny sticker saying “you okay?”
Felt lighter than the words themselves

Everybody’s happiness online
Feels way too bright for me tonight

The feelings I thought I deleted
Keep logging back into my chest

I couldn’t mute
The laughter in my head

My heartbeat glitched
Like broken code again

Hey
Even with Read 0 I still sing

Inside a room nobody hears

Holding onto shattered voices
Turning into noise again

It’s not “I wanna disappear”
I just can’t say “please find me”

Every night they laughed at me
I turn into a weapon now

Even with Read 0
I’m still here alive

La la la la
Loved through the static noise

La la la la
Still breathing somehow

Kindness on the timeline fades
Three seconds later anyway

But one small sentence from you still
Gets caught inside my throat tonight

“No talent” written in a comment
I screenshot it and made a song

The only thing I got good at
Was surviving every broken night

Before applause
I learned the sound of laughing first

But somehow
My heartbeat never disappeared

Hey
Even with Read 0 I still scream

Even if the world keeps scrolling past

Anonymous tears can still become
A song that reaches someone’s heart

It’s not “I want this all to end”
I just wanted to become someone

All the kids they laughed about
Will steal the future back tonight

Even with Read 0
I’m still alive right here

2AM
Notifications ringing

This time
It finally showed your name
