Kira Rae - Latency Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Screen's all blurry, your face keeps freezing
Three dots dancing, my heart's still bleeding
Connection's weak but I'm still here waiting
For you to buffer through my thoughts, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Five hundred miles and a thousand pixels
Between your touch and these digital signals
Therapy calls through distorted static
Trying to heal but it's automatic

[Chorus]
Latency, latency
You're three seconds behind my reality
Can't feel, can't heal
When love's caught in digital purgatory
Latency, latency
Baby, are you even receiving me?
These feelings trapped in binary
God, I miss your body next to me

[Verse 2]
Remember nights before the world went quiet?
When love wasn't measured in megabytes
Now I'm counting seconds through the silence
While your voice breaks up like a dying satellite
2019 still haunts these airways
Pills and promises, digital malaise
Screen time telling me we're connected
But my soul feels so damn rejected

[Bridge]
"Your connection is unstable"
That's what they keep saying
But maybe it's not the WiFi baby
Maybe I'm the one who's fading
Nadia, can you hear me?
Through this digital debris?
'Cause I'm screaming through the static
But nothing feels f*cking real to me

[Chorus]
Latency, latency
You're three seconds behind my reality
Can't feel, can't heal
When love's caught in digital purgatory
Latency, latency
Baby, are you even receiving me?
These feelings trapped in binary
God, I miss your body next to me

[Outro]
Signal's dropping, heart's still knocking
Three dots fading, soul's still waiting
Call disconnected, love rejected
In this space between you and me
