Nolan Lentz - Protocol Error Lyrics

[Intro]
Notifications light up, another show begins
Your activism's trending, but the truth wears thin

[Verse 1]
Posted your little video, tagged me in your game
Mental health awareness week, what a f*cking shame
You smile for the camera while twisting all my words
Turn pain into content, like some social media nerd
Remember drama club? Before the screens took hold
Now you're just an avatar, your heart's gone digital cold

[Chorus]
Double-tap that betrayal, share that f*cking lie
Filter all your feelings, let authenticity die
Your activism's just an act, performing for the likes
While real conversations fade into the night

[Verse 2]
Screenshots of our messages, out of context scenes
You're building up your following by tearing down our means
School administration bought your manufactured rage
While I'm left here watching from behind this pixeled cage
Swipe left on the truth, you're too busy getting views
Your conscience got an update, now it's programmed to abuse

[Bridge]
Comments section warfare, emoji reactions fly
While real wounds are bleeding, you're just chasing that blue sky
Your followers don't know you, they just know your curated show
But algorithms love you, baby, that's the way to go

[Outro]
Keep posting your awareness, keep playing your part
While genuine connections break down and fall apart
Your social score is rising, but your soul's offline
In this digital theater, truth gets left behind
