16-BAR INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION

VERSE 1

You wake up, check the screen
Before you check yourself
Scroll past lives in motion
Pick a version that won't tell
Trim the edges, soften tone
Take the quiet out of it
Post the moment like a task
You don't finish — you submit

PRE-CHORUS

Maybe this one lands
Maybe this one stays
Maybe someone's still watching
Long enough to say
Yeah, that counts
Yeah, that's real
Yeah — you're doing fine

CHORUS

You didn't share it
You submitted
You didn't reach out
You complied
You weren't heard
You were processed
And sent back
Looking like
Everyone else

VERSE 2

Check it once, then twice again
Change the caption, change the frame
Lower volume, raise the light
Anything to make it right
Delete the parts that linger too long
Cut the line that sounded wrong
Post it back like nothing changed
Call it timing, call it grace

PRE-CHORUS

Maybe this one lands
Maybe this one stays
Maybe someone's still watching
Long enough to say
Yeah, that counts
Yeah, that's real
Yeah, you're doing fine

CHORUS

You didn't share it
You submitted
You didn't reach out
You complied
You weren't heard
You were processed
And sent back
Looking like
Everyone else

BRIDGE

If no one answers
If nothing comes back
If it disappears
Right where you left it
Was it a moment
Or just a request
You don't refresh

CHORUS

You didn't share it
You submitted
You didn't reach out
You complied
You weren't heard
You were processed
And sent back
Looking like
Everyone else

OUTRO

No signal
No reply
Just the screen
Still on
