about

This song is about how I view social media as a form of self harm because of all the hate and comparing involved. The lyrics are kind of graphic and shocking, but the song has a lot to say for those willing to listen.

lyrics

A post is like a bloody knife,
give me a like, stab me twice.
I've been waiting for you to look my way
and I've been searching for something to say.
A post is like an empty cry, I've been reading through
your million lies
and looking at your wall,
but I can't see through it all.

Gonna hit myself on Facebook,
gonna burn my eyes on Instagram,
gonna drown myself in Twitter,
gonna break my heart on Ask.fm,
gonna cut myself on Snapchat,
gonna hang myself with Vine,
gonna overdose on Tumblr if I don't kill myself in time.
And I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
to look pretty
in this selfie where things are getting out of control.
I'm gonna update, gonna update my status
to "I'm hopeless and this is eating my soul."

A post is like an empty threat, I don't know where I'm going yet.
Got no need to choose my words,
I can alway copy her's.
A post is like nicotine,
hide the body from the scene.
This is more addicting
than hiding deep beneath my skin.

Gonna hit myself on Facebook,
gonna burn my eyes on Instagram,
gonna drown myself in Twitter,
gonna break my heart on Ask.fm,
gonna cut myself on Snapchat,
gonna hang myself with Vine,
gonna overdose on Tumblr if I don't kill myself in time.
And I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
to look pretty
in this selfie where things are getting out of control.
I'm gonna update, gonna update my status
to "I'm hopeless and this is eating my soul."

A post is
I know this,
everybody's scrambling for a bit of time.
A post is,
my hope is,
I'll give up this life for a hint of mine.

Gonna hit myself on Facebook,
gonna burn my eyes on Instagram,
gonna drown myself in Twitter,
gonna break my heart on Ask.fm,
gonna cut myself on Snapchat,
gonna hang myself with Vine,
gonna overdose on Tumblr if I don't kill myself in time.
And I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
to look pretty
in this selfie where things are getting out of control.
I'm gonna update, gonna update my status
to "I'm hopeless and this is eating my soul."
