Hey how's your scrollin' going?
Some dance on boats while bombs fall near
Some post a smile to hide their fear.
I scroll too long can't find what's real
Like riding a train that will never heal
No seat to rest no strength to feel.
World is ill this words will kill.
I laugh with them but I feel the crack
Their words are noise their eyes talk back.
They chase the lights but I see the cost
Each viral smile hides someone lost.
And I know 'cause I've worn that mask
Now I rip it off but forget to ask-
Who am I when the screen goes black?
Dear God give me a reason to stay
A small warm light to guide my way.
I'm tired of pain that doesn't kill
But breaks my heart and bends my will.
Give me a joy that burns within
Let me come home-back to my skin.
I judge their thirst then drown in mine
Scrolling past wars like they're just a line.
A beach a bomb a trending song-
They all belong but I feel wrong.
Too deep to lie too cold to cry
Too awake to dream too numb to try.
Dear God give me a reason to stay
A small warm light to guide my way.
I'm tired of pain that doesn't kill
But breaks my heart and bends my will.
Give me a joy that burns within
Let me come home-back to my skin.
