Main Character Syndrome (Trial Version)

[Intro, Lo-fi loop, Deadpan delivery] Loading... Insert coin to continue. Debug mode: enabled. Okay. Let’s lie beautifully. [Verse 1, Talk-rap, Dry tone] I’m the DLC nobody asked for Side quest kid with the cracked lore Say "it’s fine" in a glitched voice Crying in Arial font, that’s a choice Built my worth on patch notes Self-worth? 404 — it won’t load Keep my feelings in a Google Doc Labeled “delete later,” but I never do, shock Press F to respect the mess I laugh like it’s armor and hope it deflects Speak fluent meme as a second defense I ghost in real life, but I text in caps [Pre-Chorus, Slight melody hint] Swear I’m fine, just lagging a bit Emotion.exe had a conflict Auto-saved in sarcasm tone Smiling like a bugged-out clone [Chorus, Sad but catchy, Lo-fi synth pads] I'm the punchline and the pain Main character in a sidekick frame Ctrl+Z every word I say Joking 'cause I care — can't say it plain Don’t cry, it’s just good code Humor’s how I debug the load This ain’t a flex, it’s a flicker If I laugh first, maybe it hits me quicker [Verse 2, Rapped Verse, More rapid delivery] Insecurity speedrun, no skips Speed-type shame in emoji scripts Cursed with awareness, I narrate the cringe Life’s a livestream with zero wins Scroll through doubt like a Reddit thread My confidence died, but it lives in my head NPCs keep asking “are you okay?” And I say “lol” 'cause that’s all I can say Still soft, but I mask it with lore Feelings in spoilers, never explored Achievement unlocked: Played Myself Put my heart on shuffle and left it on shelf [Bridge, Slightly slowed, Vulnerable undertone] I joke, not 'cause it’s fake But ‘cause if I don’t, I’ll break This smile’s made of data and duct tape But it still uploads, even when it aches [Chorus, Repeated with backing vocals] I'm the punchline and the pain Main character in a sidekick frame Ctrl+Z every word I say Joking 'cause I care — can't say it plain Don’t cry, it’s just good code Humor’s how I debug the load This ain’t a flex, it’s a flicker If I laugh first, maybe it hits me quicker [Outro, Glitchy fadeout, Spoken word] Trial version ends here. Thanks for playing. Full release pending... maybe.
