Character Blur - WVNDER

Sometimes I revel in how we use to be

Before we all became attached to our screens

Subject to uninvited commentary from the likes of those who barely know you’re

here

Now you invest in only what they can see

The shallow compliments lead to conceit

To show the world that you’re extraordinary, cater to an overbearing jury of

peers

Deny all your flaws, and ignore everything you are

Tell lies from afar in an attempt to cover up your flaws

Whatever happened to your self worth?

It’s been replaced with a flattering number

Can’t face the truth, cause you know it hurts

Your character blurs

I’ll bet you wonder why you’ve lost all your friends

You’re way too stubborn to ever make amends

And the corruption of your morals has become a state of normalcy that you defend

The life you painted with your digital pen

Is a facade you struggle to protect

So let the lies around you settle while you’re sleeping with the devil in his

lover’s bed

Deny all your flaws, and ignore everything you are

Tell lies from afar in an attempt to cover up your flaws

Whatever happened to your self worth?

It’s been replaced with a flattering number

Can’t face the truth, cause you know it hurts

Your character blurs

You sing a song, they pretend to know the words

Your ego’s overloaded from crooks with other motives

You’ve been strung along, and consumed by the public thirst

As your confidence eroded, your life became devoted to an unreal standard
