Popularity Lyrics

They ask, "how are you doing"

Then say, "let's talk about me

I'm sure your life is fine

So, let's just discuss mine"

Where are all our endless friends

We've not yet met but "they're the best"

Far more people than we've known

But, more than ever, we're so alone

Compulsive scrolling through our phones

Avert our eyes because we're shy

Introversion's widely known

It's what we're shown as normal life

But we wanna be famous

Our names well-known worldwide

Some fame well-earned inside

Popularity is not so heinous

Make some tunes, do something new

Meet a few more instant friends

Stroll into some random DMs

What benefit is it to you?

We strive for popularity

And wind up in hilarity

It's not excessive irony

The height we climb falls drastically

I've been deeply lonely

Surrounded by wrong types

I left the God who loves me

And I've been wasting my life

I want to return to my first love

But would You take me back?

Lord, I'm sorry that I left

Please, God, don't turn Your back on me

When I try to be famous

My face renowned worldwide

The chase for fame satisfied

Isn't recognition painless? (No!)

I turned my back on family

'Cause I want people to know me

Caring for praise and awards

More than those close to me

We strive for popularity

And lose our solidarity

It's really not much irony

The mountain's peak is treachery

Jesus, You still love me

Though I ran to strife

You're now my focus solely

You can have, completely, my life
