[Verse 1]
Screen-lit faces in the dark
Phosphor trails across my heart
Empty streets beneath my feet
While servers hum their lullaby so sweet
I'm scrolling through the static noise
Digital dreams, they're all my choice
Dad's machine still haunts my mind
Those spinning wheels left memories behind
[Chorus]
In the glow of LED
I feel more real virtually
Ones and zeros comfort me
When flesh and blood just lets me be
In this hollow paradise
Where screens replace the stars at night
I'm finally feeling alright
In blue light, in blue light
[Verse 2]
Rain against the window pane
While circuits whisper my name
Empty offices up high
Their exit signs, my fireflies
These wires feel more like home
Than crowded streets I used to roam
Hidden in my coded cage
Writing stories page by page
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if I'm lost
In this digital exhaust
But maybe this is where I'm free
Where no one has to understand me
[Chorus]
In the glow of LED
I feel more real virtually
Ones and zeros comfort me
When flesh and blood just lets me be
In this hollow paradise
Where screens replace the stars at night
I'm finally feeling alright
In blue light, in blue light
[Outro]
The city sleeps but I'm awake
In electromagnetic waves
My fingers dance across the keys
While Manchester dreams
While Manchester dreams
(Static fades to silence)
