the phone screen glows but you are far awayi watch the clock tick as you drift to sleepyou wake up late and tell me it's okaybut there are secrets that we both must keepyou try to wear a mask and look so coldto match the text that you have rearrangedbut i can see the stories left untoldinside a boy who thinks that he has changedwe play this game of hide and seek for hoursyou vanish for ten minutes at a timei draw my eyeliner and feel my powerswhile you are drowning in your digital crimeyou count the seconds just to hold your pridei watch the series while i wait for friendsthere is a shadow that you try to hidebut this is where the quiet waiting endsa year of darkness passed behind the wallyou broke the cage because you missed my ghostnow someone else's name is in my halla petty game to see who cares the mostyou burn with jealousy behind your screenbut you're too stubborn just to write it downi am the only girl you've ever seenwho doesn't bow before your plastic crowni'm packing up my hopes for somewhere newa future passport waiting in the rainto build a life across the sea with youand finally erase this static painwill you still be the king of cold commandswhen i am standing right before your faceor will the iron crumble in my handswhen real life takes over this empty spacewe scream in silence through the plastic glassbuilding a fortress that is made of sandi watch the summer evenings slowly passand slide the phone back down into my handthe timer's running out and three days leftthe line is cut and i am fading outyou're left alone inside your screen of theftand i am walking home without a doubt
