lyrics

Time to log on
to the platform again,
and pretend this is me,
and pretend you're my friend.
Time to perform
on a stage that’s a mask,
and our pain remains private -
you won’t see me crack.

Smiling faces,
going places,
ticking boxes
on Facebook.
I don’t struggle,
have no trouble,
will you like me
on Facebook?

Hey, look at me! -
I just earned a degree.
Got a ring, so happy, jogged a mile in the rain.
Look at me living a life
our society’s deemed as acceptable
- am i okay?

Smiling faces,
going places,
we're all competing on Facebook.
There's no struggle -
we just hustle.
Do you like me
on Facebook?

Sometimes I wonder if
I am the only one
feeling like I am not winning at life.
All of those landmark occasions equating
success are beyond me -
I’ve fallen behind!
Quick, let me post:
#loving life

Smiling faces,
going places.
We’re all pretending
on Facebook.
I don’t struggle -
I just hustle.
Do you like me
on Facebook?

Hidden faces,
secret places,
'cause life is never like Facebook.
Private struggles,
censored battles:
there’s a truth beyond facebook.
