Disconnected

Deep in our screens, we lost our way
Caught in pixels, night and day
Conversations are now silent scrolls
Human touch, where did it go?

Lost in our online fantasy
We quite forget reality
Faces lit by digital light
In the dark, we lost the fight

Disconnected, can't you see
This online world is no place to be
Trapped in dreams, we drift apart
No longer feel a human heart

Every click brings a distant call
Virtual friends, behind our walls
Within the screens, we have no fears
No real laughter, no real tears

I miss the days of simple talks
Time together, heartfelt walks
Now we text, all at great speed
But a warm touch is what we need

Disconnected, can't you see
This online world is no place to be
Trapped in dreams, we drift apart
No longer feel a human heart

In the fantasy worlds we’re so alone
Disconnected, yet on our phones
Let’s break the chains, let’s find our way
To the magical world that was yesterday

Disconnected, can't you see
This online world is no place to be
Trapped in dreams, we drift apart
No longer feel a human heart
