[Intro]
Screen's burning bright at 3 AM
Another night, lost in the DM
Trapped in these four walls again
While the world outside goes f*ckin' insane
[Verse 1]
WiFi's my lifeline, phone's my best friend
Scrolling through faces, where did it end?
Marco hit me up, said he's doing shows
While I'm stuck here making beats that nobody knows
Livestream after livestream, losing my mind
Trading real hugs for hearts, leaving sanity behind
Mama's worried sick, I can hear it in her voice
But these digital chains ain't giving me a choice
[Chorus]
When connection becomes infection
What's left of our reflection?
Double-tap my soul away
In this digital decay, hey
When connection becomes infection
Lost in this direction
Can't tell what's real anymore
Through this pixelated door
[Verse 2]
Dating apps got me swiping through ghosts
While Marco's stealing shows, making the most
Of my isolation, my desperation
Broadcasting pain to an empty nation
Set up my mic in this cramped-ass room
Watching follower counts while facing my doom
Late night calls that lead nowhere
Screaming into void that doesn't care
[Bridge]
Remember Secondigliano streets?
Now just memories in deleted tweets
Community turned to comment sections
Lost in virtual misdirection
F*ck these walls, f*ck these screens
F*ck these digital machines
But they're all I got right now
All I got somehow
[Verse 3]
Signal's dropping like my mental state
Video calls that pixelate
Can't tell if I'm performing or dying
While my notifications keep multiplying
Marco's out there, living free
Posted pics just to taunt me
Brotherhood died in quarantine
Now we're just avatars on a screen
[Chorus]
When connection becomes infection
What's left of our reflection?
Double-tap my soul away
In this digital decay, hey
When connection becomes infection
Lost in this direction
Can't tell what's real anymore
Through this pixelated door
[Outro]
3 AM, screen's still bright
Another day bleeds into night
Who am I when servers fall?
Just echoes bouncing off these walls
