Kira Rae - Counting Pixels Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Screen-lit shadows on my face
Your glitched-out smile in this empty space
Three dots dancing, you're typing away
But the words feel hollow today
I watch you freeze, buffer, and fade
Like memories we tried to save

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting rooms and therapy screens
You're just pixels, or so it seems
Can't feel your touch through fiber beams
Digital love ain't what it seems

[Chorus]
Lost connection, can't reach your heart
These virtual walls keep us apart
Your face in boxes, breaking down
Like scattered pieces on the ground
Baby, we're just ghosts in the machine
Living life through a broken screen

[Verse 2]
Remember when we used to flow?
Before the world went cold and slow
Now I'm drowning in your static glow
While Caribbean beats play down low
Watching you perform your pain
Through filters that keep us sane

[Bridge]
F*ck these wires and WiFi signs
Your love's reduced to loading lines
I overdosed on your design
Digital kisses taste like wine
But leave me empty every time

[Chorus]
Lost connection, can't reach your heart
These virtual walls keep us apart
Your face in boxes, breaking down
Like scattered pieces on the ground
Baby, we're just ghosts in the machine
Living life through a broken screen

[Outro]
The signal's fading, love's delayed
Another connection lost in space
