about

What can you say is real in this age of social media and with the pressure to be constantly performing?

lyrics

V1:
I don’t know what to confess
“Write what you know,” well, my life is a mess
Give me an inch, I’ll crack open my chest
Guess I just hate myself. Guess I’m just stressed.
Call me a hater, I say “I’m a Virgo.”
Call it a crutch? I agree. It’s my ego.
Moon is in Scorpio, feelings that sting
Self sabotage, what a wondrous thing
Choking, they think I’m obsessed
Can’t you see I’m just depressed?
So fucking #blessed
“Stop acting so damn oppressed”
I’d rather die than tell you all the rest
I’d rather die, but I’m doing my best
I don’t know what to confess
“Write what you know” well, my life is a mess
I’d rather die, but I’m doing my best, I guess

Chorus:
Oh, is this authenticity?
Oh, am I just a giant phoney?
Oh, is this authenticity?
(I dunno, man. I dunno)

V2:
I want to hold someone’s body
Meld with their mind learn about all their hobbies
Stop thinking on my own shit
Is this distraction legit? Oh, shit.
I’ve got mahi to do
Cognitive dissonance, too
I am dismissive, a fool
Dress to impress, but I’m miserable… cool.
I don’t want to drink nowadays
Really makes you think - what pays?
Every job is exploitation
Trading with our debt. Inflation.
What’s the fucking point? Libations?
Pass the fucking joint. Vibrations.
I don’t know what to confess
I’d rather die, but I’m doing my best, I guess.

Chorus:
Oh, is this authenticity?
Oh, am I just a giant phoney?
Oh, is this authenticity?
(I dunno, man. I dunno)
