Preparing for war

Verse 1
Staring at this glowing screen,
Chasing who I’m supposed to be,
Every click just pulls me deeper,
Don’t know where the real world ends.
Grew up on dial-up and Power Wheels,
Now I’m drowning in the overload,
Comparing every part of me,
To filtered lives I’ll never be.Pre-Chorus
Heart’s racing, can’t slow down,
Thumb keeps scrolling round and round,
Smiling faces, perfect lies,
Feel like I’m just going down, down, down.Chorus
Hear the thunder rolling in,
Fight’s about to begin,
I’m prepping for World War Me,
I’m my own worst enemy,
Fighting battles nobody can see,
Trapped inside this glowing screen.
World War Me, can’t find no peace,
Every like’s a temporary relief,
Losing who I used to be,
This ain’t living, it’s World War Me.Verse 2
Late nights, blue lights in my face,
Chasing validation I can’t replace,
Everybody’s living their best life,
While I’m stuck here in real time.
Fake smiles, fake love, fake wins,
Counting likes like they’re currency,
The more I feed it, the more I bleed,
Slowly killing the real me.Bridge
Sold my soul just trying to fit in,
No more mirrors, no more light,
Just a shadow in the dead of night,
Now there’s nothing left of who I was…
I disappear, pixel by pixel,
Becoming something artificial,
The real me died somewhere in the feed,
Now I’m just a cog inside the machine.Final Chorus
Hear the thunder rolling in,
This is a war I’ll never win,
I’m prepping for World War Me,
I’m my own worst enemy.
World War Me, no end in sight,
Lost myself in the endless night,
The real me’s dead and buried deep,
Now I’m just a cog inside the machine
