Lyric

Morning light, but the screen hits first

Alerts before I even speak a word

Plans I never asked for today

Set the tempo — I fall in line anyway

Drowning in a countless feed

Urgency has become routine

Everything matters and nothing does

And I can’t tell which one I should trust

Am I chasing it

Or am I being chased?

Whose rhythm am I living out each day?

In the spiral of updates

My heartbeat hesitates

The only thing that’s honest anymore

Signal rush

Bang bang, dancing to the panic calls

Like I’m signed into a life I don’t recall

Signal rush

Beep beep, searching for the “right” reply

But I’m losing my own compass every time

Where did it go?

Scrolling down becomes a habit

Dreams get archived like cluttered tabs

Convenience bought my freedom out

Choices fade when everything’s allowed

Like / Save / Share — endlessly

Yet nothing really lands on me

The more I “know,” the less I feel

Is numbness what they mean by real?

I hear everything

But nothing gets through

Breathing in the rhythm of what I’m “supposed to.”

Pretending I’m fine

Just going offline

From the voice that used to sound like mine

Signal rush

Bang bang, heartbeats to a borrowed beat

But this isn’t what living’s meant to be

Signal rush

Beep beep, chased by every flash of light

’til I want to stop disappearing into the night

Where did it go?

Slow down, slow down

I remember now

How my silence used to feel like power

Slow down, slow down

If I breathe in time

I don’t need the world to tell me how to shine

Signal hush

In the stillness, I heard it again

A whisper of a rhythm beneath my skin

Signal hush

Not running, not hiding tonight

One steady heartbeat guiding me back to life

I finally follow my own signal
