online.deception from Wanna scream by Chibiitaii

In the glow of my screen, I'm lost in the crowd
A lonely girl in a digital shroud
Every click, every like, I'm searching for love
But it's just pixels and bytes, not enough

Butterflies in my stomach, but they're made of code
Deleting my flaws, but they still corrode
I'm screaming into the void, but no one can hear
Echoes bounce back, feeding on my fear

I'm a lonely girl, lost in this virtual sea
Craving validation, but it's never for me
Scrolling through feeds, searching for connection
But it's all just a cruel online deception

Online deception
Online deception

Online deception
Online deception

I post my smiles, my laughter, my tears
But behind the screen, no one hears
I'm drowning in echoes of hollow applause
Yearning for real love, not virtual applause

Filters and hashtags, hiding my scars
But the pain still lingers, like rust on old cars
Lost in a maze of notifications and likes
But in the end, it's just me and the night

I'm a lonely girl, lost in this virtual sea
Craving validation, but it's never for me
Scrolling through feeds, searching for connection
But it's all just a cruel online deception

Online deception
Online deception

But it's all just a cruel online deception

Online deception
Online deception

Behind every selfie, there's a silent plea
For someone to see the real me
But the likes and comments, they fade away
Leaving me alone at the end of the day

Leaving me alone at the end of the day

I'm a lonely girl, lost in this virtual sea
Craving validation, but it's never for me
Scrolling through feeds, searching for connection
But it's all just a cruel online deception

So I'll keep on searching, in this digital maze
Hoping to find real love one of these days
But until then, I'll dance to this bittersweet tune
A lonely girl under the internet's moon
