Kishi Nara - Static Skin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Screen light burns my eyes at 3 AM
Your pixelated face, it's not the same
Static crackling through our broken calls
While my heart beats like a machine down the hall
Hospital beeps keep time with my tears
As I watch you fade through digital fears

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't feel your skin through fiber optics
Love's gone electric, baby, it's toxic
My fingers trace the cold glass screen
Pretending that you're here with me

[Chorus]
Touch me through the static
Love me through the wire
These digital embraces
Set my soul on fire
But I'm so f*cking lonely
In HD paradise
Can't download your kisses
Can't stream you tonight

[Verse 2]
Factory lights flash like warning signs
Your voice breaks up, connection's running dry
Mika's breathing slow in sterile sheets
While I count the hours between heartbeats
Remember when skin could touch skin?
Now we're trapped in this virtual spin

[Bridge]
All these bars but no signal to your heart
Five-star connection but we're worlds apart
Swipe right, swipe left, but I can't swipe you near
Love in megabytes, drowning in our fears

[Chorus]
Touch me through the static
Love me through the wire
These digital embraces
Set my soul on fire
But I'm so f*cking lonely
In HD paradise
Can't download your kisses
Can't stream you tonight

[Outro]
The machines keep humming
While my heart's gone numb
In this virtual loving
We've become undone
Just want to feel you breathing
Next to me again
Instead of this hollow feeling
Of zeros and pretend
