Virtual But Real

Kiorhi

Late-night glow on a glassy screen, mm

Neon heartbeat in a soft machine

Touch the air, feel the bassline bend

If it’s “just virtual”… why it hit like this?

Virtual but real, virtual but real (So real)

In a world of copies, tell me what you feel

Virtual but real, virtual but real (For real)

Read between the pixels—let the truth reveal

It was all a dream—now it’s all on streams

Rendered romance in a thousand regimes

Some are random, cheap—rough cut, low sheen

Some are crafted evil, scam with a clean routine

You got bots with a grin, got a mask that’s “me,”

Got a “trust me” link and a trap in the key

Cash rules—yeah, but soul don’t sell

I can tell by the silence how the motive smells

Check the rhyme, I’m calm but the core stay hot

Jazz on the tongue, let the snare say “not”

If it’s fake, it fades when the spotlight hits

If it’s real, it breathes in the spaces between kicks

I’m not a filter, I’m a mirror, I’m a prayer in code

Not a highlight reel—just a road, just a road

Hold it up to your heart, let it weigh, let it stay

Only you can decide what’s true today

Virtual but real, virtual but real (So real)

In a world of copies, tell me what you feel

Virtual but real, virtual but real (For real)

Look me in the waveform—let the truth reveal

Word is bond—eyes open, keep it on

Scroll slow, don’t fall for the charm in the font

Virtual got a real and a fake in the mix

One’s a random knockoff, one’s a planned counterfeit

But there’s also the real-real—intention in the line

When the maker means it, you can hear it in time

Somebody wrote this with a pulse, not a script

Not a quick flip, not a cold-click trick

Ain’t “can’t touch this”—you can touch this truth

When the bass hit low, it’s a hand in the booth

I’m cool on the surface like vinyl on ice

But inside it’s fire, like a sax in the night

Deepfake smiles try to sell you a life

But the real don’t beg, it just cuts like a knife

I’m not saying “trust,” I’m saying “test,”

Put the verse on your chest—see if it rests

If it drags you to fear, it’s a hook with a chain

If it lifts you to breathe, it’s a love with a name

I’m not a filter, I’m a mirror, I’m a prayer in code

Not a highlight reel—just a road, just a road

Hold it up to your heart, let it weigh, let it stay

Only you can decide what’s true today

Virtual but real, virtual but real (So real)

In a world of copies, tell me what you feel

Virtual but real, virtual but real (For real)

Read between the pixels—let the truth reveal

If I’m a shadow, let me cast it honest

If I’m a signal, let me cut through the noise

If I’m a message, let it land where you are

Not in the cloud—right here in your pulse

You the judge, you the lens, you the final call

In the digital hall where the echoes sprawl

I won’t sell you a miracle, won’t rent you a mask

Just a simple little truth in a swingin’ task

Tap your intuition, that’s the anti-scam

That quiet “nah” is the strongest program

Virtual but real, virtual but real (So real)

In a world of copies, tell me what you feel

Virtual but real, virtual but real (For real)

Look me in the waveform—let the truth reveal

Virtual but real, virtual but real (So real)

If this feeling reaches you, that’s all I need

Virtual but real, virtual but real (For real)

See it with your own eyes—set the meaning free
