Lyrics: Well, the rooster ain’t crowin’, but they’re wide awake Got a cold blue glow where the sunrise breaks Thumbs keep scrollin’ like a runaway train Chasin’ hearts and likes but it all feels the same Got a boy on the porch with a rod and reel But he traded it off for a joystick thrill Fightin’ dragons that ain’t even there While the real world’s dyin’ for a little care They’re livin’ in the screenlight shadows Dancin’ where the fake wind blows Smilin’ faces, filtered lies Trade their souls for alibis Oh, the truth’s been left behind In a world they’ll never find Just echoes in a hollow show In them screenlight shadows Mama’s callin’ supper, but they don’t hear Got their headphones on, just disappear Daddy’s old guitar gathers dust in the hall No one learns to play, no one plays at all Got a girl countin’ followers late at night Measure her worth by a pixel light Breakin’ her heart on a comment line From a stranger she’ll never meet in time They’re livin’ in the screenlight shadows Dancin’ where the fake wind blows Smilin’ faces, filtered lies Trade their souls for alibis Oh, the truth’s been left behind In a world they’ll never find Just echoes in a hollow show In them screenlight shadows Well, I ain’t sayin’ all of it’s wrong But you can’t build a life on a digital song A handshake’s worth more than a thousand views And a front porch truth beats online news They’re livin’ in the screenlight shadows Dancin’ where the fake wind blows But there’s a road back home somehow If they’ll only look around Trade that glow for golden sun Put the screen down, start to run Back to livin’ hearts that know More than screenlight shadows Yeah, the world’s still turnin’ outside that door Ain’t no app can give you more
