| Sometimes I revel in how we use to be
|
| Before we all became attached to our screens
|
| Subject to uninvited commentary from the likes of those who barely know you’re
|
| here
|
| Now you invest in only what they can see
|
| The shallow compliments lead to conceit
|
| To show the world that you’re extraordinary, cater to an overbearing jury of
|
| peers
|
| Deny all your flaws, and ignore everything you are
|
| Tell lies from afar in an attempt to cover up your flaws
|
| Whatever happened to your self worth?
|
| It’s been replaced with a flattering number
|
| Can’t face the truth, cause you know it hurts
|
| Your character blurs
|
| I’ll bet you wonder why you’ve lost all your friends
|
| You’re way too stubborn to ever make amends
|
| And the corruption of your morals has become a state of normalcy that you defend
|
| The life you painted with your digital pen
|
| Is a facade you struggle to protect
|
| So let the lies around you settle while you’re sleeping with the devil in his
|
| lover’s bed
|
| Deny all your flaws, and ignore everything you are
|
| Tell lies from afar in an attempt to cover up your flaws
|
| Whatever happened to your self worth?
|
| It’s been replaced with a flattering number
|
| Can’t face the truth, cause you know it hurts
|
| Your character blurs
|
| You sing a song, they pretend to know the words
|
| Your ego’s overloaded from crooks with other motives
|
| You’ve been strung along, and consumed by the public thirst
|
| As your confidence eroded, your life became devoted to an unreal standard |
