Disconnected Smiles

{muted synth pluck} {soft vinyl crackle} {distant ambient swell}

I watch the glowing screen light up my room

Double tap, scroll down in the gloom Thousands of faces staring back

at me But there is no one here that I can see

{subdued intimate vocals} I post a picture just to feel alive

Waiting for the numbers to arrive But every like is just a

hollow spark

That leaves me sitting in the dark

{vocal swelling with light plate reverb} I've got an offline heart in

a digital world

Watching everybody's perfect life unfurl I'm so connected but I'm so alone

Searching for a hand to hold and not a phone

(not a phone)

{soaring expressive lead vocals} {full drum groove kicks in} I write a

caption then I wipe it clean

I am a ghost inside a silver screen They only see the

things I want to show

But there is so much they will never know

{subdued sparse arrangement} I've got an offline heart in a digital world

Watching everybody's perfect life unfurl I'm so connected but I'm so alone

Searching for a hand to hold and not a phone

(not a phone) {full band peak

dynamics} Offline heart... Just a ghost in the screen (ooh) {guitars wash

out with delay} {fade out on single

muted chord}
