The Dayveil - Broken Metrics Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every like is a knife that cuts deeper
Your comments section's my personal reaper
Trading trauma for clout, yeah, I'm guilty
But you love it when I'm feeling filthy

[Pre-Chorus]
Screenshot my pain, make it go viral
Turn my tears to gold, it's all so vital
Playing chess with my heart on your timeline
While you analyze every headline

[Chorus]
Count my wounds, count my views
Baby, which one makes you lose?
Got you hooked on my blues
Count my wounds, count my views
Making money off these bruises
Tell me, ain't that what you choose?

[Verse 2]
Layla taught me how to play this game
Turn my heartache into digital fame
Every breakdown's just content to consume
While you're stalking all the shit in my room
Got algorithms studying my moves
All my feelings perfectly curated for you

[Bridge]
Performing pain like a f*cking circus act
Million followers but I'm still intact
You want authentic? I'll give you a show
Calculate the perfect time to let go

[Chorus]
Count my wounds, count my views
Baby, which one makes you lose?
Got you hooked on my blues
Count my wounds, count my views
Making money off these bruises
Tell me, ain't that what you choose?

[Outro]
Every notification's another scar
Playing puppet master from afar
But who's really pulling all these strings?
When the curtain drops, what's left of me?
