make-believe

Lyrics: LeoMao Music: LeoMao Arranger: LeoMao Rain-drops tap-tap on my window pane Digital clock shows 4 again In this haze between sleep and wake My phone's light makes my eyes ache Notifications keep flowing in But I'm lost in this state I'm in Treadmill keeps spinning round and round While my thoughts make no sound Social feeds scroll past my eyes Friends asking "where've you been?" with their lies-lies-lies Sometimes solitude is all we need To find ourselves in this digital feed Rain keeps falling, time keeps crawling While my mind is softly calling For a moment just to breathe In this afternoon of make-believe Messages flash across my screen "Come join us!" they all seem to mean But in this rain-soaked afternoon My soul dances to a different tune On my window, droplets race Like thoughts I cannot seem to trace What if all these digital traces Are just masks for empty spaces? Running nowhere on this machine Living life through a screen Sometimes we need to get lost To find what matters most Sometimes solitude is all we need To find ourselves in this digital feed Rain keeps falling, time keeps crawling While my mind is softly calling For a moment just to br-br-breathe In this afternoon of make-believe In this afternoon... of make-believe...
