BACKROOM BOY (lofi skies)

I'm building worlds again

In the blue light of my screen

Nobody knows the universes I create

From this room they've never seen

I'm producing beats that no one hears yet

Streaming games to empty chats

Creating art for walls that don't exist

Living life in parallel tracks

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Building dreams while the world goes by

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Touch me through the screen, I'm shy

My hands create magic on these keys

But they've never held another's

I paint sunsets in digital space

But I've forgotten real colors

Friends ask why I stay inside

They don't understand the pull

Of creating something from nothing

In a room that's always full

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Safe in here, but wondering why

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Love me through the wire, don't ask me why

Sometimes I wonder what it's like

To be seen and not just heard

To have someone know my real face

Not just my avatar's preferred

But here I'm comfortable, I'm known

By usernames and late-night streams

The backroom is my kingdom

Even if it's lonely as it seems

[Main vocal] The rain hits my window

[Radio vocal echoing] Like hearts hit DMs

[Main] The fan hums steady

[Radio] Like hope that never ends

[Both] Maybe tomorrow I'll step outside

[Both] Maybe tomorrow I'll try

[Both] But tonight I'm safe here

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Creating worlds, learning to fly

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Someday I'll be ready, by and by

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

It's not lonely if I choose this life

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky

Building courage, byte by byte

Three AM and I'm still here

Building dreams in binary

One day someone will find me

In my backroom galaxy

Backroom boy, in a lofi sky...
