Latency

[Intro] Static waves and empty spaces Digital ghosts leave no traces Three dots dancing on my screen In this void where you have been [Verse 1] Refresh, refresh, but nothing's there These pixels paint a lonely air My message sent into the night Your status shows you're offline, right? Buffering thoughts between my ears While seconds stretch to endless years I'm caught inside this loading dream Not everything is what it seems [Chorus] Latency, you're killing me Three thousand miles of empty sea Latency, just let me be Lost in digital hollow, can't you see? Can't you see? [Verse 2] My router blinks in morse code green While I decode what feelings mean These server farms hold all our love Like data centers high above I type delete and type again While copper wires carry my pain Through fiber optics, glass and light My heart keeps pinging through the night [Bridge] In this space between the send And when your words finally descend I've built a home of ones and zeros Where disconnected hearts are heroes White noise whispers lullabies As screen-light burns my tired eyes [Chorus] Latency, you're killing me Three thousand miles of empty sea Latency, just let me be Lost in digital hollow, can't you see? Can't you see? [Outro] Signal fading, connection's weak These broken words I cannot speak Lost in cables underneath The ocean where our packets meet Static waves and empty spaces Digital ghosts leave no traces Three dots dancing on my screen In this void where you have been
