Lyric

Before the sunrise hits my eyes, I scroll again

Trying to win back what I lost yesterday

Like betting life on a one-percent chance

With trembling hands I press that button down

A smiling rare card waves at me

While my fridge looks empty as can be

Do I want strength, or self-esteem?

No answer written on the screen

I’m buying stars to fill the sky

Chasing dreams that never die

In this rainbow spiral of chance

My heart keeps dancing, then it falls again

Even my family fades away

I can’t find the road to turn back today

“One more try,” I say again

But all that’s left is emptiness

Free pulls never satisfy

Still I whisper, “Next one’s mine.”

I trade my smile for a digital prize

Selling my future for a glowing line

Betting tomorrow on a flash of light

Knowing it won’t hit tonight

The real me disappears from view

Living only in the screen with you

That single sparkle in the gray

Paints my faded world away

I can’t stop, I can’t let go—

I just want your smile to show

I’m buying stars to fill the sky

Chasing dreams that never die

In this rainbow spiral of chance

My heart keeps dancing, then it falls again

When I whisper, “I want to quit,”

I open the app again a bit
