Corner of the classroom, fading into grey
Watching all the happy people drift away
Uniforms and faces, all looking the same
But my soul is playing a different kind of game
Can’t be the "normal girl" they want me to be
The face in the mirror is a stranger to me
Faking every friendship, nodding along
Hiding the truth where I don't belong
But because you’re here, I can finally breathe
A tiny connection is all that I need
(Connection... it’s all I need...)
Plaster on a smile, hide away the tear
Fake a happy ending while we’re living in fear
Love and peace are twisted, flipped inside out
Justice is a weapon that we scream and shout
Shattered little pieces on the other side of the screen
Escaping the reality, shifting the blame, unseen
Using every scar as a shield to survive
A tiny bit of hope keeps the signal alive
Getting too good at killing how I feel
"I'm okay," "I'll try"—nothing feels real
Burying my heart beneath a mountain of lies
Living for the script, under digital skies
Every post I make is just a staged act
Glitter on the surface, hiding the fact
That everyone is tired, everyone is broken
But the only truth is the word left unspoken
"Right" vs "Right" and we’re torn in between
Aggression in the pocket, through a glowing screen
No one takes the fall, no one takes the heat
The strong hide away while the weak face the street
Stop it, stop it, stop it, please
I’m falling to my pieces, I’m down on my knees
Everything is breaking, everything is loud
Looking for a exit in this digital cloud
Using all my trauma as a blade in my hand
Playing the victim just to make a stand
Yeah, it’s a strategy, a way to survive
In this twisted world where we barely feel alive
Self-righteous justice, hitting "send" for the thrill
Breaking someone down with a phantom-like will
Indirect violence, wounding every heart
We’re all just tearing each other apart
Plaster on a smile, hide away the tear
Fake a happy ending while we’re living in fear
Love and peace are twisted, flipped inside out
But I won't give up on us, I’ll clear the doubt
Shattered little pieces on the other side of the screen
A tiny bit of hope is still left to be seen
You’re the only truth in this world of design
Let’s walk together through the digital line
A tiny breath of air
I can still find it here
A place to just be
It’s still waiting for me
