Life and a Lens

Fall leaves could be brighter you know
When seen through Clarendon and VSCO
And Spring is more vibrant and pops
With just a little help from Photoshop

And summer days will never end
When played on repeat on your friend's Gram
And pure white snow stands out better
In black and white and not in color

These curated photos will outlast my friends' woes
And my memory so
Someday we may not know
We never were that close

Who cares 'bout your mood
When you'll be seen through
A filter perfectly attuned and
If it can lend
More soul than your pen
Who cares 'cause you have
A life and a lens

It's not that I love it at all
It's just my need to be presentable
And all of that praise that comes with
A well timed selfie or a sunset

And comments from girls I don't know
Just increase my inflated ego
And I'm never one to dismiss
A friend of a friend's follow request

All of that laughter, the likes will come after
Or what was the point
It may be a game but
The rules always change

Who cares 'bout your mood
When you'll be seen through
A filter perfectly attuned and
If it can lend
More soul than your pen
Who cares 'cause you have
A life and a lens

I don't know
If I'm happy
Just from numbers on a screen
I don't know
If I care
Or if I'm just scared others are happier than me

I don't know
If I'm just not
As handsome as the rest
But I do know
I won't stop until
The day I'm dead with worms in my head

Who cares 'bout your mood
When you'll be seen through
A filter perfectly attuned and
If it can lend
More soul than your pen
Who cares 'cause you have
A life and a lens

Who cares about your mood
When you'll be seen through
A filter perfectly attuned and
If it can lend
More soul than your pen
Who cares 'cause you have
A life and a lens

A life and a lens
