[singer B] Good morning everyone, welcome back Thanks for joining, smash that like I've got a story for you tonight about the โ He hasn't looked at me in thirteen days Not once, not even when I'm talking He walks through rooms like I'm the furniture And I keep smiling like the cameras are still rolling But the cameras aren't rolling And the feed is mostly dead [transition] [singer A] First you need a name Something young, something sweet, something fourteen Mia, let's go with Mia, Mia likes horses Now Mia messages him โ not him, his account, my fingers on his keys The thing about a lie this size Is you don't build it all at once You build it like a conversation Because that's what people trust [singer A] In his name I wrote the words he never said In his name I built the crime he never did And the beautiful thing about a lie told on the internet Is it only has to sound true once And then the internet does the rest You don't need a jury You don't need a badge You just need a screenshot And a story people want to believe is bad In his name Every word In his name And nobody's going to check [transition] [singer B] I have become irrelevant And I don't know what that word means Because I've never had to say it And it tastes like something dying in between my teeth I gave up everything to come here I gave up the ghosts, I gave up the dolls I gave up a million people who would watch me pour my coffee For a man who won't return my calls I don't know who I am without a room that's paying attention [singer A] Posted at eleven, trending by midnight The thread's been shared a thousand times before the sun comes up His friends are texting him, his sponsors are pulling out His mother called and he didn't pick up Reported, flagged, suspended, banned Platform after platform, account after account A month of my best work unfolding in an hour I don't feel anything about it That's not a confession, that's a job description [transition] [singer B] Watch me, watch me I'm the ghost that โ I'm the โ I was the โ Watch me Is anyone โ Is anyone still โ I have become irrelevant And I don't know what that word means [singer A] Six months was enough Six months and his life was ash Six months of everyone believing Mia was real And Mia was me and me was a couch in West Virginia The sheriff pulled the records on a Tuesday Every message traced to Ash's apartment Every timestamp matched to hours I was alone there Every piece of evidence pointed at the one address Where only one person was logged in I built the perfect lie And the lie had my fingerprints all over it And you know what the worst part is? It still almost worked [singer B] He took everything from me My audience, my platform, my people He paraded me around like a prop And threw me away when someone shinier walked in Nobody does that to me Nobody does that to me and gets to keep their name
