(Intro) Look at the pose, look at the suit, look at the perfect tie This took me forty minutes, ready for the digital sky (Verse 1) Spent ninety minutes editing the saturation Crafted the caption, built the perfect online station I hit the 'Post' button, felt the dopamine rush Ready for the hearts, the shares, the whole digital crush I look away for ten minutes, then I look back to see The only movement on the screen is the ghost of me Just the static, just the emptiness, just the number zero, man The whole elaborate performance for a solitary fan (Pre-Chorus) They said, "Be authentic," but they only love the fake My self-worth is trending, for goodness sake The silence is the loudest sound you'll ever hear The confirmation that you simply don't belong here (Chorus) I got Zero Likes! But I'm still feeling the fire My beautiful life is stuck in the digital mire I'm a failure to the algorithm, a misfire in the system They don't know that my best songs are the ones they haven't listed Zero Likes! We're shouting it loud into the void This disappointment is the energy we've employed (Verse 2) We chase the metrics, chase the numbers, chase the golden key Tryna prove to strangers that we're worth the visibility I deleted the post, felt the shameful digital withdrawal Why build a skyscraper when the attention span is so small I see the people cheering, but I know it's all a show They only hit 'Like' if the system tells them where to go The whole thing is rigged, the deck is stacked against the human cost The perfect tuxedo bought with everything we lost (Pre-Chorus) They said, "Be authentic," but they only love the fake My self-worth is trending, for goodness sake The silence is the loudest sound you'll ever hear The confirmation that you simply don't belong here (Chorus) I got Zero Likes! But I'm still feeling the fire My beautiful life is stuck in the digital mire I'm a failure to the algorithm, a misfire in the system They don't know that my best songs are the ones they haven't listed Zero Likes! We're shouting it loud into the void This disappointment is the energy we've employed (Bridge) My chest is tight, my head is screaming, I can't feel my hands I spent all this time posing, taking their demands This tuxedo is just a mirror, reflecting all the lies I am the walking proof of the beautiful demise You want the shiny surface? You want the easy win Well, here's the price tag for the perfect digital sin We are the warning! We are the consequence We are the Zero Likes that finally made some sense (Chorus) I got Zero Likes! But I'm still feeling the fire My beautiful life is stuck in the digital mire I'm a failure to the algorithm, a misfire in the system They don't know that my best songs are the ones they haven't listed Zero Likes! We're shouting it loud into the void This disappointment is the energy we've employed
