Don't Even Need To Try

Lyrics

(One, two, three... smile)

It's a perfect angle and a really nice filter But it feels like I'm leaning, like I'm out of kilter I'm looking at the screen and it's a bit of a lie I don't even need to try

I spent twenty minutes picking out the right words Just to describe a lunch that I didn't even taste I'm polishing the edges, I'm hiding all the mess Trying to give the people something to impress (is it working?) But the guy in the photo looks happier than me He's living a life that I'll never quite see

It's a perfect angle and a really nice filter But it feels like I'm leaning, like I'm out of kilter I'm looking at the screen and it's a bit of a lie I don't even need to try

I'm checking the numbers like they're some kind of score But as soon as they go up, I'm just wanting some more It's a feedback loop, it's a hall made of glass Watching the best versions of myself just pass (they look good though) (yeah, they look real good) But there's nothing behind them, it's just empty space

(Stop) (Zoom in) Can you see the tired look around the eyes Can you see through all the clever little disguises Probably not Neither can I

It's a perfect angle and a really nice filter But it feels like I'm leaning, like I'm out of kilter I'm looking at the screen and it's a bit of a lie I don't even need to try

(Who is he?) (Not me) (I don't even need to try)
