Lyric

I wake up in a filter

My face ain't even mine

I type out all my feelings

Then delete them every time

Told my friends I'm fine online

Then cried into my phone

Even my reflection's tired

Of playing who I'm shown

I forgot how to be real

Got no clue what I should feel

Every smile is on a loop

Every tear just gets the mute

I forgot what silence means

Can’t remember in-betweens

Even pain feels secondhand

In this copy-paste wasteland

Was I ever just a person?

Not a brand or daily show

Every angle’s been rehearsed

But my heart still doesn’t know

I rewind old voice memos

To hear who I once was

But the echo’s gone robotic

Like it's coded in my flaws

I forgot how to be real

Got no clue what I should feel

Every smile is on a loop

Every tear just gets the mute

I forgot what silence means

Can’t remember in-betweens

Even pain feels secondhand

In this copy-paste wasteland

Don’t need followers tonight

I need someone to see the glitch

In the version I uploaded

Just to make it past the pitch

Am I more than my display?

Is there someone underneath?

Tell me I’m not just pretending

To forget the air I breathe

Even in a crowded room

I still feel like just a screen

Waving through my window pain

(Literally. You know what I mean.)

I miss days with no aesthetic

Messy hair and open skies

Now I crop out all my chaos

For a perfect pixel lie

I forgot how to be real

But I’m learning how to feel

Let the silence break the feed

Let my heartbeat take the lead

Even if I fade from view

I’ll be something raw and true

Not a filter, not a trend—

Just a soul that won’t pretend

I’m still here

Just… trying

To be real
