I’m desperate to connect
Can I find it in my phone
How many likes until I don’t feel so alone
My life is on display for all these strangers to appraise
But if I died tomorrow would they just unfollow anyway
Or could I be like Jesus and the 27 club
And get the world to really love the idea of who I was
Yeah, pay me for my face, an aesthetic to uphold,
And fund my facial upgrades for when I get too old
If you want pretty for forever then I’m happy to oblige
Be my puppet master
Make sure to like share and subscribe
I’m my fucking business
I don’t have a private life
And if I don’t announce my status my lack of truth becomes a lie
Because my audience and I
Are thirsty for exposure
And i’ll take off my shirt
To get my real message heard
Yeah my audience and I
Are thirsty for exposure
I’ll take off my shirt
To get my real message heard
How far are you willing to go
To make your dreams come true
Can you curate your identity
Until there’s nothing left of you
We need something to market
You gotta get your numbers up
Your musics really great kid,
But the socials not enough
So I’ll make sure i’m straight passing
To guarantee my fame
And make sure not to tarnish
My only professional name
Thousands of opinions on my face
From day to day
It’s enough to drive the best and most secure slightly insane
Whether you’re crying from the comments
Or made out to be a god,
You lose your own humanity
Here’s the wheel and you’re the cog
My audience and I are thirsty for exposure
I’ll take off my shirt to get my real message heard
Yeah my audience and I are thirsty for exposure
I’ll take off my shirt to get my real message heard
Yeah my audience and I are thirsty for exposure
I’ll take off my shirt to get my real message heard
Do you like that?
Do you like that?
Now friendship is a follow,
So if you don’t follow me then
That must mean our fragile friendship
Is coming to an end
Right?
Real life is necks craning down to LED
And comparing our own lives to reality TV
But the script doesn’t even stop when we press power down
We’ve forgotten how to notice
When people are actually around
Yeah, Lets go out to dinner
And check our instagrams all night
I’ll have some validation please with a side of truffle fries
You gotta post more content
Keep your audience engaged
The curtains never closing
And your life is now a stage
But nobody is perfect
There’s no need to apologize
And no one wants to fucking see
What you had for dinner last night
So it’s time to power down
Alexa take a nap
I need a breath of fresh air
Before I’ll be coming back
To our virtual reality
We’re already living in
Artificial intelligence
Might be starting to win
And my audience and I are thirsty for exposure
I’ll take off my shirt to get my real message heard
Yeah my audience and I are thirsty for exposure
I'll take off my shirt to get my real message heard
Yeah my audience and I are thirsty for exposure
I’ll take off my shirt to get my real message heard
Yeah, we’re all so fucking desperate for indecent exposure,
So i’ll take it all off to get my real message heard
