[Intro]

[Verse]
Golden light on my skin
A warmth I can't quite place within
Digital dawn, a perfect scene
Living out a waking dream
No shadows fall, no clouds appear
Just programmed bliss, year after year

[Pre-Chorus]
And the arpeggios start to climb
Whispering secrets through time
This manufactured paradise
Feels like a beautiful disguise

[Chorus]
Oh, artificial sunlight
Bathes the world in golden light
A flawless, programmed day
Chasing all the blues away
But in this radiant glow
Something I don't truly know
Is missing from the air
A whisper of despair

[Post-Chorus]
Artificial sunlight
Shining ever so bright

[Verse]
I walk through streets of pure design
Every contour feels divine
The air is sweet, a gentle breeze
Comfort found with perfect ease
My heart beats a steady rhythm
Beneath this synthetic prism

[Pre-Chorus]
And the harmonies start to blend
A message that they seem to send
This flawless, endless summer day
Is it real or just a play?

[Chorus]
Oh, artificial sunlight
Bathes the world in golden light
A flawless, programmed day
Chasing all the blues away
But in this radiant glow
Something I don't truly know
Is missing from the air
A whisper of despair

[Post-Chorus]
Artificial sunlight
Shining ever so bright

[Break]

[Bridge]
But sometimes in the quiet hum
A glitch, a flicker, makes me numb
A digital choir starts to fray
And the colors start to sway
This perfect sky begins to crack
There's no turning, no turning back

[Verse]
Then the final chorus breaks
A different kind of warmth it makes
Less polished, more raw and true
As the simulation breaks through
The arpeggios start to bend
This is not the perfect end

[Chorus]
Oh, artificial sunlight
Fades away in fading light
A broken, fading day
Can't chase the truth away
And in this fading glow
Everything I've come to know
Is real beyond compare
This fragile, living air

[Outro]
