[Verse 1]

I see you through screens, I see what you let me see

I see how you show your soul, I see how it hurts to breathe

You've got love but no control, you've got hurt but no release

I wish I could hold you close but baby, I see you through screens, yeah

[Chorus]

Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside

Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified

Days just spill like water, we drown in time

I wish I could be there right by your side

[Verse 2]

I see you through screens, I see what you let me see

I see how you pour your soul, I see what it takes to bleed

You're so far away from home the sickness burns you in your sleep

And now that you live alone all your mirrors feel like teeth

Unspilled tears turn vinegar

Sour little lies in your mind so sinister

Cylinders fire but the hollow drum ringing out melodies of doubt keep your self-esteem prisoner

Thoughts of regression ĺike a dull ache

Skull plagued by the migraines all day

Coolness is the branding but it's all fake

IG still demands even more of your face

[Chorus]

Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside

Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified

Days just spill like water, we drown in time

I wish I could be there right by your side

[Verse 3]

All we ever see is the screen

Funny how machines turn everyone so parasocial

Even those that we're close to

Memories melt into photos

Neat likkle package for the timeline

More time, it's a lifeline to the shoreline

Short form, short content for sore eyes

Sure fine, I guess it's alright

Come find me, I'm buried in the tension

Treading water, barely getting breaths in

Living gig to gig, with pitiful protections

Working all the time and not even for a pension

Not to mention the drain on attention

Not to mention the game of confessions

Not to mention the aimless direction

Not to mention the waning connections

[Chorus]

Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside

Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified

Days just spill like water, we are baptised

Lightscreens glow like halos when you're inside

You turn my screen into a shrine of light

It's a joy to witness you living life

I see pain and fear in your tired eyes

I see hope and fire, you burn so bright

[Verse 4]

I love you, I miss you

Lightscreens are somewhat of a gift too

We can be both the seen and the witness

And somehow feel God from a distance

I love you, I miss you

Lightscreens are somewhat of a gift too

We can be both the seen and the witness

And somehow feel God from a distance

[Outro]

Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside (Lightscreens feel like cages, I'm stuck inside)

Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified (My heart's torn by changes, I'm terrified)

Days just spill like water, we are baptised (Days just spill like water, we drown in time)

Lightscreens glow like halos when you're inside (I wish I could be there right by your side)

You turn my screen into a shrine of light (Lightscreens feel like cages, I'm stuck inside)

It's a joy to witness you living life (It's a joy to witness your burning light)

I see pain and fear in your tired eyes (I see pain and fear in your tired eyes)

I see hope and fire, you burn so bright (I see hope and fire, you burn so bright)
