Sad truth

Look at the screen until the

screen looks back Chasing a ghost

on a digital track We're building

a kingdom out of fragile glass

Hoping the highs are gonna somehow

last But the battery dies and

the room goes cold And you're

left with a story that was

never told Just a ghost in

a room with a beautiful view

Wondering if anyone is looking for

you And that's a sad truth,

heavy as lead Living the lives

that we built in our head

We're so well connected,

but dying alone Trading our souls

for the glow of a phone

Yeah, the silence is loud when

the music stops Counting the tears

as the curtain drops

We smile for the camera,

we perfect the pose But nobody

sees how the dark water flows

We're selling our secrets to buy

some applause Ignoring the bleeding,

ignoring the flaws Got a thousand

acquaintances, maybe a friend But who's

gonna hold you when you reach

the end?

The applause fades away to a

quiet hum And you face the

person you've actually become And that's

a sad truth,

heavy as lead Living the lives

that we built in our head

We're so well connected,

but dying alone Trading our souls

for the glow of a phone

Yeah, the silence is loud when

the music stops Counting the tears

as the curtain drops

It's a beautiful lie that we

like to believe That we only

achieve what we choose to perceive

But the mirror don't lie when

the makeup is gone And you're

staring down the barrel of another

dawn Just another dawn

Lights are all off But the

screen's still on

Yeah, the music stops

And the truth just drops
