Internet Friend

Kind of feel like I know you
But it's the version you choose to show
Want to uncover
Where you harbor your deepest soul

But I can't scratch the surface through this phone
Our flaws all filtered and unknown
To the outside world
We're stuck in the virtual

My internet friend
Are we even friends
Tell me one thing you know about my family
Lost in our pretending
What if we forget
What it's like to live in reality

Scrolling down a timeline
Seeing all the highlights
At their best days up against our worst nights
Internet friend... mm

We're not really as shallow
As our 2-D personalities
But we're sinking in a shadow
Of physical reality

And I lie down for hours on the floor
Unlock our phones and shut the door
To the outside world
We're stuck in the virtual

Vision flooded with
Blue-light images
What I'm not glows in the dark
Built our relationships
On thin glass surfaces
It, it could all shatter apart

My internet friend
Are we even friends
Tell me one thing you know about my family
Lost in our pretending
What if we forget
What it's like to live in reality

Internet friend
Are we even friends
Tell me one thing you know about my family
Lost in our pretending
What if we forget
What it's like to live in reality

Scrolling down a timeline
Seeing all the highlights
At their best days up against our worst nights
Internet friend... mm
