----------------------- 𝕰𝖑𝖑𝖆 © 2025 @𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖑_𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖔𝖘𝖈𝖔𝖗𝖊 ------------------------ [1 verse]: I smiled for the camera Apparently that was not enough They said, “Show us some charisma” As if I ever cared Although to be honest Even though my fashions modest I wouldn’t mind showing some skin Tryna look pretty for them [bridge]: Smile, baby, smile for the camera Photography’s really messing me up [chorus]: They’re always watching me, video taping They’re always stalking me, my pictures they’re taking Wanting to see if I’ll do anything wrong “Smile, you’re on camera” posters on the wall [2 verse]: Tick tock, my face should be cropped, I just want it all to stop Delusions and pictures won’t tie the knot Don’t care if it’s pretty, it won’t make me happy Why not paint a grin on my face In the end, it’s all fake anyway [bridge]: Smile, honey, smile for the camera Photography’s really messing me up [chorus]: They’re always watching me, video taping They’re always stalking me, my pictures they’re taking Wanting to see if I’ll do anything wrong “Smile, you’re on camera” posters on the wall [3 verse]: I’m done reading, through listening To people in the magazines “Hold still, strike a pose and say ‘cheese’.” I'll be one bitter sweetheart hopefully [bridge]: Smile, sweetie, smile for the camera Photography’s really messing me up [chorus]: They’re always watching me, video taping They’re always stalking me, my pictures they’re taking Wanting to see if I’ll do anything wrong “Smile, you’re on camera” posters on the wall [outro]: Every year, it's the same dang thing It's an introvert's worst nightmare I think Having to smile round people you hate "Fake it till you make it" or be driven insane... ---------------------------------------------------- Gave my thoughts to CHATGPT. ALSO, this isn't the "challange" song, just a part of the story, lol- kill me now but it's a lot more clearer: “Hey, I’ve got this creative challenge idea, but I’m too tired to explain it fully right now. The gist is — I took an old song I wrote back in 2023 that I wasn’t totally happy with, and I’m reworking it into a kind of half-creepypasta version from my own perspective. I want to make it into a fun challenge — maybe to see how others interpret it or if the fandom’s still active.”
