A reflection on the power and dangers of social media.

lyrics

I see you out there looking like a heart attack
Your lipstick red and your nails black
I can't compete with your dragon stare
It's a good thing nothing is real
It's a good thing nothing is real

You say you're all alone but I know you're wrong
Talkin' 'bout your problems like it's your favorite song
Say you're not like the others so we can't get along
It's a good thing nothing is real
It's a good thing nothing is real

Oh yeah, well we're all gonna die
I know, that's the reason why
Oh yeah, it's gonna eat me alive
And I don't care, I don't know why

I hear you talk in my head when I know you're not there
Gotta check the comments so I know people care
I can't escape your bullshit, god, you're everywhere
It's a good thing nothing is real
It's a good thing nothing is real

I see you in the morning when I open my eyes
I know I got a choice, but I can't disguise
This thrill of validation when I know it's all lies
It's a good thing nothing is real
It's a good thing nothing is real

Oh yeah, well we're all gonna die
I know, that's the reason why
Oh yeah, it's gonna eat me alive
And I don't care, I don't know why

Oh yeah, well we're all gonna die
I know, that's the reason why
Oh yeah, it's gonna eat me alive
And I don't care, I don't know why
And I don't care, I don't know why
And I don't care, I don't know why

Don't know why
No, no, don't know why
