"The Highlights" lyrics

The first thing that you wake up and see
Is the light on the screen, the reflection you seek
It is only perception, the idea of perfection
You been chasing the dream on the surface of sleep
As you're counting the streams, you believe
In the art of deception, got you craving that attention

People don't show you the truth or their fear
The lies, the likes they're holding dear, they're holding dear
They're picture perfect, so they appear
But we're never seeing their cyber tears, their cyber tears

Not the real life, show 'em only highlights
Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like
Your life seems to glow but you only show
Just the highlights, the highlights

The highlights
The highlights

You are stuck in the blue, and you're so far removed
And the proof that you choose your abusing
It ain't getting clearer, it's only smoke and mirrors

I never show you my truth or my fear
The lies, the likes I'm holding dear, I'm holding dear
I'm picture perfect, so I appear
But you'll never see my cyber tears, my cyber tears

Not the real life, show 'em only highlights
Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like
Your life seems to glow but you only show
Just the highlights, the highlights

Not the real life, show 'em only highlights
Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like
Your life seems to glow but you only show
Just the highlights, the highlights

The highlights (the highlights)
The highlights
The highlights
The highlights (the highlights)

Not the real life, show 'em only highlights
Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like
Your life seems to glow but you only show
Just the highlights

Not the real life, show 'em only highlights
Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like
Your life seems to glow but you only show
Just the highlights, the highlights

Not the real life
Not the real life
Your life seems to glow but you only show
Just the highlights, the highlights

The highlights
The highlights
