Everybody is running from what they want,
Everyones willing to lie to put up a front,
Nobody's truly thinking of themselves,
But its like everyones got a book full of self help.
In this world and this new age,
We're all covered up with sin in a cage,
Our minds we lost and humanity left,
So why are we posing like we're so #blessed?
Say it as it is we just want attention,
Crying in our hands when you lose your best friends mention,
Scrolling on our phones just admit its an addiction,
But when you put it down its like the real life's an infection.
Some of you find beauty in arts and crafts,
And some of you just want to get lost in laughs,
But tell me when you're stripped of both of that,
Don't you sit down and wish you had someone to make you feel like all of that?
In this world and this new age,
Everyone needs an ever-lasting lighter,
Because without it you can't convince yourself that you're a fighter,
So why don't you just speak it out loud...
Say it as is it is we just want attention,
Hating ourselves when your boyfriends missin',
Looking for someone that you were once dismissin',
So just say as it is, we just want attention.
