Ivy Fitzroy - Filtered Smile Lyrics

Every day another post to make
Another smile another pose to fake
Filters and captions a digital facade
Hiding the truth behind a facade
In the spotlight but feeling alone
Online love but it's all unknown
Likes and comments but they can't see
The real girl behind the screen's decree
I'm just a puppet in this digital show
Lost in the spotlight's artificial glow
Smile for the camera hide the tears
In this virtual world where no one hears
Behind the lens I'm someone else
An AI persona a digital self
In the sea of faces I'm just a clone
A real girl but never truly known
Every click every swipe every share
But inside I'm stripped bare
Longing for connection in this online game
But reality's walls they're all the same
(I'm just a puppet same they're all the same)
I'm just a puppet in this digital show
Lost in the spotlight's artificial glow
Smile for the camera hide the tears
In this virtual world where no one hears
Scrolling through feeds searching for meaning
But in this digital circus I'm just a screen thing
Yearning to break free from this virtual cell
To show the world the real girl behind the veil
I'm just a puppet in this digital show
Lost in the spotlight's artificial glow
Smile for the camera hide the tears
In this virtual world where no one hears
Behind the screen I'm just a girl
Longing to break free in this digital whirl
But until then I'll keep playing my part
A real girl hidden behind the digital art
