lyrics

Wish somebody would tell me why I do this to myself
Chasing validation isn’t too good for my health

Try moving to another city to change your luck
Your dreams are bigger than the common man’s
We’re moving in and out of industries work gets tough
Like sinking teeth into a bed of sand
Skip a couple meals
All for what?
To try to keep up with the best of them?
Instagram idealism sucks
I’m just trying to pay rent

Sell me a stream of perfect moments
Why would the internet lie?
This narcissistic self-involvement
Just makes me want to f****** die

Are parents paying for your luxuries?
You’re getting wasted while you “earn your degree”
I'm feeling guilty so I’m constantly
Self medicating my anxiety
What’s gonna happen when the well runs dry?
Social capital withers and dies?
Dreams cost money
And money costs dreams

Sell me a stream of perfect moments
Why would the internet lie?
This narcissistic self involvement
Just makes me want to f****** die

We keep on living for the moment
I keep on scrolling for the high
I’d hate to live for the enjoyment
Of others living through my eyes

Sell me a stream of perfect moments
Why would the internet lie?
This narcissistic self involvement
Just makes me want to f****** die

Dreams cost money
And money costs dreams
