While you walk, while you hesitate
While you read a glance and wonder where this passenger is headed
No, you can't compare our lives
No, this changes nothing
Some of us like to forget just what it means to be content
Waiting for a better offer
This isn't another deal, arguing over the best price
Time to hedge my bets, playing off market forces
This is it, there's a cause for the itch inside your head
Don't you feel that change, so sly, that shift in weight
That feeling like you won
Pure skin with the filter on
Tattoos, haircut
Keep scrolling by, constructing the dream
But wait, there's no substance to this lie
Unaware it can't bring you peace
This ache, it's all you can do to keep your head up
Fold yourself in two
So you watch and you hesitate
And you have to be the one whoknkows where everyone is heading
Captive to your fresh new hobby
Just post until you feel content
Cocktails under fairy-lights
You won
Keep scrolling, envious
Landscape shadowed scenes of your life
But wait, there's no substance to this lie
Forcing pieces together
Trading new trends to see if they fit
Choose digital envy or analogue sad
