Modern Animal

Flicker lights on concrete veins
All the ghosts forgot their names
Talk too loud to hide the fear
We built a world that disappeared

Every mirror shows the same old face
Painted smiles in borrowed space
We stretched the sky till it forgot the blue
The only God I trust is you

And I don’t dream much anymore
Just static noise behind the door

Afterimage, fade and glow
Burn my name where no one goes
Light me up, then take the frame
I'm alive, but not the same

Plug me in, I hum like grace
Every thought’s a data trace
We called it love, we called it art
But it’s just wires inside the heart

Turn the wheel, it spins too slow
I lost the world I used to know
If this is life, then let it rain
We evolved just to feel the pain

Afterimage, fade and glow
Burn my name where no one goes
Light me up, then take the frame
I'm alive but not the same
I'm still here, I think
