VYD3N - Likes Lyrics

Flickers of blue light kiss the empty walls
Phantom shapes dance in the midnight glow
The silence thickens like dust in the corners
While I sift through faces that feel like ghosts
The likes are fireflies caught in jars
Their fleeting glimmers fade to black
I'm chasing stars that aren't even there
Wading through waters that swallow me whole
Streetlights blink like tired eyes outside
Casting ribbons on the cold pavement
I used to feel the warmth of human hands
Now it's all glass reflections, hollow light
The hearts are mirages on a distant shore
I reach for them but they slip through fingers
I scream into seas of static and nothing
Lost between signals that never connect
I let the screen fade, step into the night
The wind wraps its hands around my throat, like the cold drafts on a ship's deck
The stars blink down like secrets untold
Holding truths I may never find
I crave the warmth that's out of my reach
A fire that keeps fading into the dark, like a distant tide pulling away
I still drift here beneath artificial skies
A moth to the glow that doesn't care, like chasing neon on old MySpace pages
The numbers flicker but I feel no weight
And I wonder if I'll ever feel anything more
The light ebbs away as I close my eyes
Leaving only the hum of a fading glow
Tomorrow may come with a different light
But tonight, I'll be tangled in empty threads
Like wires never quite connecting
