Simulated Self

Lost in the screen, got late at night Chasing mics under the midnight light
Forgot the world that waits for me Caught in the web of what they see
Friends keep calling but I'm not there And virtual fame might disappear
Messages pile in a queue unseen Living a dream that's just on screen

Sorry I missed your call Busy in my simulated self
Living in pixels Not in the real world
I know I've drifted far Lost in this ideal world
Lost in this ideal world In my simulated self

Realities just unfold I strained from the digital haze
Following trends in an endless maze I scroll and I swipe, seeking a spark
Leaving my life in the dark A thousand hearts but no real touch
Feeling empty in the online rush Neglecting bonds that time should mend

Pretending screens are my true friend Sorry I missed your call
Busy in my simulated self Living in pixels
Not in the real world I know I've drifted far
Lost in this ideal world Lost in this ideal world

In my simulated self Realities just unfold
I strained from the digital haze Following trends in an endless maze
I scroll and I swipe, seeking that spark Leaving my life in the dark
A thousand hearts but no real touch Feeling empty in the online rush

Neglecting bonds that time should mend Pretending screens are my true friend
Sorry I missed your call Busy in my simulated self
Living in pixels Not in the real world
I know I've drifted far

Lost in this ideal world Lost in this ideal world
In my simulated self Realities just unfold
