Fictional Fixation

[Intro – gentle piano arpeggios, faint distant hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – soft piano, quiet shaker rhythm] My eyes burn at 3 a.m. Phone screen glowing like a sin I trace the lines of a face that’s not real Heart beats fast, can’t make it heal [Pre-Chorus – building string layers, light kick drum] I know it’s all in my head But his voice is the only thing that’s said To the empty room where I shake and I fear That I’m falling for someone who isn’t here [Chorus – full piano, swelling strings, steady beat] I’m tangled in a fictional spell Chasing a ghost I can never tell Celeb smiles and made-up names Fill the space where my real heart aches [Verse 2 – piano with muted guitar, soft bassline] I scroll through posts till my hands go numb Watch the same clip, feel the same hum He laughs like he’s talking right to me Then I wake up, alone again, see [Pre-Chorus – louder strings, heavier kick] I’m grasping at a fantasy A perfect face, a perfect story But when the dark wraps around my chest I’m just a girl who can’t pass the test [Chorus – layered vocals, soaring strings, full drum beat] I’m tangled in a fictional spell Chasing a ghost I can never tell Celeb smiles and made-up names Fill the space where my real heart aches [Bridge – stripped back piano, raw vocals] I hate that I can’t feel this way For someone who’s here, who’d want to stay But my mind’s stuck on a distant glow Where the pain of real love doesn’t grow [Solo – weeping violin melody, soft piano accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, maximum emotional intensity] I’m tangled in a fictional spell Chasing a ghost I can never tell Celeb smiles and made-up names Fill the space where my real heart aches [Outro – fading piano, faint string hum] 3 a.m. panic, quiet tears Chasing shadows through the years
