Sometimes I revel in how it used 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
