Six AM, camera in my face

Fake smile, pretending I'm in my happy place

"Hey guys, welcome back to my channel!" (kill me now)

Twenty takes to get one clip that's trendy, wow

Bathroom mirror, dancing like a fool

Following trends from middle school

My cat has better content than I do

But I'll keep posting 'cause I need the view

Heart racing when the numbers climb

Refreshing every single time

Maybe this post will be the one

To make me internet's chosen one

Chasing those viral dreams

Selling my soul for clicks and screams

Trading authenticity for fleeting fame

Lost myself playing this numbers game

Viral dreams, viral dreams

Hollow dopamine machines

How pathetic have I become?

For those viral dreams

Shopping hauls with money I don't have

"Self-care Sunday" - really just a bath

Every meal's a photo opportunity

Living life through phone screen misery

Comment section tearing me apart

But I smile 'cause it's good for my brand, what art!

Fake collabs with other wannabe stars

We're all just lonely behind our avatars

Heart racing when the numbers climb

Refreshing every single time

Maybe this post will be the one

To make me internet's chosen one

Chasing those viral dreams

Selling my soul for clicks and screams

Trading authenticity for fleeting fame

Lost myself playing this numbers game

Viral dreams, viral dreams

Hollow dopamine machines

How pathetic have I become?

For those viral dreams

Remember when I had real friends?

Before my worth was based on trends

When conversations weren't content

And my happiness wasn't for rent

I'm tired of performing all the time

Making my breakdown into a rhyme

Maybe I should log off for good

And remember what it means to be understood

Done with these viral dreams

Sick of selling clicks and screams

Keep your artificial fame

I won't play this fucking game

Viral dreams, viral dreams

Broken dopamine machines

Time to remember who I am

Beyond these viral dreams

Delete the app, turn off the phone

Time to learn to be alone

With just me, myself, and no ring light

Maybe that's when I'll shine bright
