[Intro – Fast Drums, Gritty Synth] Lights on Smile ready Don’t blink [Verse 1 – Female Vocals] I learned to count in numbers Likes, views, time online Learned to smile for strangers Learned to fake that I’m fine They said “you’re doing amazing” While I’m falling behind ‘Cause everybody’s winning In a highlight life [Pre-Chorus – Lift] I’m tired of pretending This pressure’s a gift I’m tired of breathing Through a digital fist [Chorus – Big Hook] We were raised online Told to shine or disappear Every flaw in HD Every fear crystal clear We were raised online Comparing hearts like it’s a game Trying to look unbreakable While we’re breaking just the same [Verse 2 – Female Vocals] They sell dreams in captions Sell hope in a frame If you don’t move fast enough They forget your name You’re told “just be yourself” But not too loud, not too real Post the pain but make it pretty Make the trauma appeal [Pre-Chorus – Lift] I’m tired of scrolling Past lives I can’t be I’m tired of measuring My worth digitally [Chorus – Full Energy] We were raised online Told to shine or disappear Every flaw in HD Every fear crystal clear We were raised online Comparing hearts like it’s a game Trying to look unbreakable While we’re breaking just the same [Bridge – Half-Time, Emotional] If I log out, do I exist If I go quiet, do I quit If I’m not perfect, am I done Or am I finally someone [Final Chorus – Bigger, Cathartic] We were raised online With the weight of the world on our skin Every loss broadcast live Every fight from within We were raised online But I’m cutting through the noise tonight I don’t need to be flawless Just real in my own light [Outro – Drums Fade, Synth Pulse] Still here Still breathing Still real
