We the People - Afterimage Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caught your reflection in a broken screen
The pixels dance where your face should be
December nights, studio lights
Your message came through at 4 AM, alright

[Chorus]
You're just an afterimage now
Burning holes into my mind somehow
Like a glitch I can't debug
Your ghost in my machine, your digital drug
And I'm still seeing you, still seeing you

[Verse 2]
Thought we were solid state
But you fragmented away
With him in HD while I fade to grey
Your love's corrupted files won't let me sleep today

[Bridge]
Delete, delete, but you won't go away
Screenshots of us start to decay
Your smile's distorted in my brain
Like a frozen frame that drives me insane

[Chorus]
You're just an afterimage now
Burning holes into my mind somehow
Like a glitch I can't debug
Your ghost in my machine, your digital drug
And I'm still seeing you, still seeing you

[Verse 3]
3 AM and I'm scrolling through
Every picture that I had of you
They're breaking down like my f*cking heart
System failure from the very start

[Outro]
Your face keeps loading, loading, loading
But the signal's dead and I'm imploding
Just static noise and empty space
Where you used to be, where you used to be
An afterimage is all I'll ever see
