Beyond the Screen

Can you hear me? Or am I just a ghost? Just a voice through the mic, digital at most [Pre-Chorus] And I'm fading, I'm fading into the wires Lost in the script of endless tech desires Can we just talk, like it's nineteen ninety-nine? Before the screens took over, and everything was fine In this virtual space, I'm just a pixel face with screen-tied eyes There's nothing human 'bout it, there's nothing human 'bout it Notifications like waves crashing nonstop on my mind Please shut the laptops down, please shut the laptops down I can't stand it You said, "Work has a crazy habit of Blurring lines, my living room's now the boardroom stage, it never quits Creepin' deadlines make this home a mental prison pit There's nothing personal in it, I'm just a username Turn off the projector, got to break these digital chains I need distance From this virtual persistence, suffocatin' my days Turn off the cam, fade back to reality We're more than this, more than virtuality [Chorus] Wish we could meet, not just in digital halls Where handshakes were real, not just icons on walls Our voices echo in this endless online sprawl Can we break free, can we break through these pixelated walls?
