Screen glows in the dark of his room
Thumbs dance on the controller, impending doom
Leaderboards climb but at what real cost?
Virtual trophies gained, real connections lost
[Pre-Chorus]
He's the king in the game, but it's his heart's defeat
Every win lights the screen, but it's love he can't cheat
Does he know the trap he's played?
[Chorus]
Dear, what can I choose?
Fatal's lost in games, and I've got the blues
Tell me, oh what can I choose?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh how long will it last
Till he wins the game he's cast?
Friends online, but they're avatars and tags
In a world of fantasy, his spirit lags
Behind the screen, he finds his brave new quest
But in his room alone, does he ever rest?
[Pre-Chorus]
Every level's end, he's more alone it seems
Chasing digital dreams, forsaking reality's beams
[Verse 3]
A chair worn thin, the outside world so vague
His avatar's smile, success' only plague
In the game, he soars on mythic wings
But life's paused on the screen, missing true living things
[Chorus]
Dear, what can I do?
Fatal's caught in pixels, and it's breaking us in two
