Irony - Recorded at Spotify Studios Stockholm

I'm still smoking 'cause I read somewhere if I quit before I'm 26
I'll be fine so I'm lying to myself while I light another cigarette
I'm addicted to my phone, getting anxious every time that it's out of reach
I lie awake, screen right up in my face and I wonder why I can't sleep

Oh, can you see the irony?
Oh, can you see the irony?

I saw these awful things in a documentary, decided I would stop eating meat
To save the planet 'til I was like, "Damn it", I didn't even last a week
So pretty perfect on the surface, but the truth is, I don't wanna be that guy
But I got a script, better stick to it, my label's telling me I gotta lie

Oh, can you see the irony? Yeah
Oh, can you see the irony?
And nobody's perfect under the surface
They'll never see that side of me
Oh, can you see the irony?

I just got a new tattoo, I'm embarrassed 'cause I didn't even tell my own mom
So every time I'm home visiting my parents, I always keep my sweater on
I don't care if it's the truth or not, all I care about is gettin' likes
Reading the comments like everybody's honest, when they're cheering for my fake life

Oh, can you see the irony? Yeah
Oh, can you see the irony?
And nobody's perfect under the surface
They'll never see that side of me
Oh, can you see the irony?

'Cause I'm only human after all
Put a filter on and it make it look natural
'Cause I'm only human after all
Put a filter on and it make it look natural
Can you see the irony?
Oh, can't you see the irony?

Oh, can you see the irony? Yeah
Oh, can you see the irony?
And nobody's perfect under the surface
But everybody's tryna be
Can you see the irony?

And nobody's perfect under the surface
But everybody's tryna be
Oh
Oh, can you see the irony?
