about

It's the studio version!!!!!!!

lyrics

My phone knows me better than any human does
Facebook's closer to me than my friend list ever was
If I died tomorrow, tragically by my own hand
Everybody would be shocked
But not Google or the Gram
Don't worry though, I promise
I would never really do it
Incognito Mode knows I've already thought through it

And with friends like these
I'd rather be lonely
Take everything they see yet they're not happy til they've sold me
With friends like these
I'm already lonely
If using me's a breeze then they can fucking blow me

By the way I talk, you'd swear I'm planning their upheaval
But I wanna make it big, I'm bound to necessary evil
Even as I write this I got TikTok on my mind
It makes me sick, it makes me viral
Makes me - hey, remember Vine?
Ain't dead but are we living
When there's so much blood to pay?
We all know about the red pills
But we take blue anyway
So like my shit, leave a comment
Validate me while I sing
We can say we hate our friends
But we owe 'em everything
And they know it
Give your life and now they own it

You know with friends like these
I'd rather be lonely
Take everything they see yet they're not happy til they've sold me
With friends like these
I'm already lonely
If using me's a breeze then they can fucking blow me

I used to think as I got older
I'd get better living life
Yet somehow every step upstairs
Brings me down another flight
I guess I can't tell where I'm going
With my eyes glued to a screen
And while I know that's not the problem
The solution's hard to see
My vision's blurry
Scrolling through pictures
Likes and lingers let them learn me
Instead of faces, they see figures
My safe spaces are their triggers
In the end, they only hurt me

Don't you know with friends like these
I'd rather be lonely
Take everything they see yet they're not happy til they've sold me
With friends like these
I'm already lonely
If using me's a breeze then
If using me's a breeze then

With friends like these
I'd rather be lonely
Take everything they see yet they're not happy til they've sold me
With friends like these
I'm already lonely
If using me's a breeze then they can fucking blow me
