The Dayveil - Martyred Signal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama's prayers echo through my iPhone screen
Twisted up her words just to make the scene
Got a million views when I showed my scars
Now they want more content from the falling stars

[Pre-Chorus]
Every notification feels like validation
Trading tears for clicks, such a sick sensation
They don't understand the words I'm singing
But they love the way my culture's stinging

[Chorus]
Watch me bleed for your likes
Performing trauma through the nights
Double tap my paradise
Watch me bleed for your likes
Turn my pain into your high
Making bank off of my cries

[Verse 2]
Posted up my breakdown, went f*cking viral
Cultural vultures call it survival
Mama said "habibi, what you doing to yourself?"
Trading authenticity for digital wealth
Every comment section's got a price
Selling sorrow, yeah, it pays real nice

[Bridge]
Algorithm feeds on my despair
Curating suffering beyond compare
They want the ethnic boy to break down
So I'll give them what they need, wear my thorny crown

[Chorus]
Watch me bleed for your likes
Performing trauma through the nights
Double tap my paradise
Watch me bleed for your likes
Turn my pain into your high
Making bank off of my cries

[Outro]
In this digital shrine
I'm just playing my part
Selling pieces of my heart
One post at a time
But who am I when the cameras fade?
Just another viral sensation made

[Chorus]
Watch me bleed for your likes
(Watch me, watch me bleed)
Performing trauma through the nights
(Through these lonely nights)
Double tap my paradise
Watch me bleed for your likes
Turn my pain into your high
Making bank off of my cries
