[Verse 1] Another notification, pixelated venom on the screen A carefully-curated caption, cutting sharper than it seems Twisting every memory 'til the truth is gone and then some Holding my own history for a calculated ransom You say it's for the kids but the screen tells me something else A puppet master pulling strings, playing with my mental health Every peaceful moment that I find, you try to shatter You say their names like bullets but their hearts are what will scatter [Pre-Chorus] And every word's a landmine I'm trying to step around And every silence is a war without a single sound You can't stand to see the pieces I've put back together So you sharpen all your daggers in the stormy weather [Chorus] SO HATE ME A PICTURE, A FILTERED, HAPPY LIE! POST IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE THE TEAR I'LL NEVER CRY! YOU USE THEIR LITTLE FACES AS THE PRICE I HAVE TO PAY JUST TO WATCH MY NEW FOUNDATION START TO CRUMBLE AND DECAY! [Verse 2] Yeah, check it. A bargaining chip, a weekend cancelled on a whim A poison whisper in an ear, a shadow where the light was in You tell 'em daddy's busy, or that daddy doesn't care While you're calculating damages from a solitary chair You hate the smile that's on my face, 'cause you're not the one who put it there You hate the calm inside my soul, a peace you think I shouldn't share This stability I've found is like a mirror to your rage Just another empty reason to turn another violent page [Pre-Chorus] And every word's a landmine I'm trying to step around And every silence is a war without a single sound You can't stand to see the pieces I've put back together So you sharpen all your daggers in the stormy weather [Chorus] SO HATE ME A PICTURE, A FILTERED, HAPPY LIE! POST IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE THE TEAR I'LL NEVER CRY! YOU USE THEIR LITTLE FACES AS THE PRICE I HAVE TO PAY JUST TO WATCH MY NEW FOUNDATION START TO CRUMBLE AND DECAY! [Bridge] But you don't see the hands that hold me when I start to break... The quiet strength that mends the promises you chose to fake... This isn't her you're fighting, this solid ground I've found... IT'S THE GHOST YOU CAN'T ERASE, THE CONTROL YOU LOST, THE SOUND OF ME FINALLY BREATHING! [Chorus] SO HATE ME A PICTURE, A FILTERED, HAPPY LIE! POST IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE THE TEAR I'LL NEVER CRY! YOU USE THEIR INNOCENCE AS THE PRICE I HAVE TO PAY JUST TO WATCH MY NEW FOUNDATION START TO CRUMBLE AND DECAY! [Outro] Hate me a picture... Go on... Hate me a picture...
