Look at them staring, a thousand-yard gaze
Trapped in the glow of a meaningless haze
Their thumbs keep on flicking, their minds slip away
Pixels replacing the words they should say

Nobody's talking, nobody's here
Just dopamine hits and a curated veneer

Scroll forever, never touch the ground
Eyes wide open, but they don't look around
Living for the likes, dying for the views
Another empty echo in a sea of fake news

Selfies for strangers, opinions on fire
Screaming in silence to climb a fake wire
Connection's a joke, just a hashtag away
But loneliness laughs when the screen fades to gray

Nobody's dancing, nobody breathes
Just lifeless reflections in digital dreams

Scroll forever, never touch the ground
Eyes wide open, but they don't look around
Living for the likes, dying for the views
Another empty echo in a sea of fake news

Welcome to your new reality
Engagement is currency
Feeling something? That's irrelevant
Keep scrolling, Keep scrolling

Click, swipe, like, repeat
Brainwashed masses, programmed to compete
Heartbeats sync with the algorithm's beat
Your soul is a product, so take a backseat

Scroll forever, till your mind decays
Emojis replace what you meant to say
Once we were real, now we're just machines
A network of ghosts in a world of screens
