U made it seem so easy U always seemed so cool Had so many friends, weren't cheesy And ur family owned a pool I thought that I should be like u Thought that u'd make me cool too U tried to teach me what to like U let me swim in ur pool I wish that I didn't know u It's ok cos I was just a kid I'm glad I'm nothing like u Really hate all the things that u did Brought u up in confession In an online chat room They told me u weren't easy I still thought u were so cool It took me so many years Therapy in friend's chat rooms U tried to write a letter to me Put u on mute now look who's cool U always seemed so cool U always seemed so fucking cool Put u on mute now look who's cool

What was that touch? What was that stare? Are you tryna tell me something? Are you just the first who cares? I laid on your lap You played with my hair Does everybody do this You're the first one who cared I never knew if you were love or just a friend Cos for so fuckin' long I didn't have any of them

iPhone Memo 01:06
I was talking to Obi but my perspective was from above my body, and it's like I was overseeing myself talk in the past tense. There was an animation playing and I thought that that was real life, but I also thought that maybe I was dreaming the whole sequence. I then suddenly opened my eyes, and realised that the animation wasn't real life and that I was awake, and I was actually having the conversation in real time. Everything was uneasy, like on the verge of a panic attack. My room wasn't my room but a fake version built like a film set. Then I said "Bones in my leg turned off". And if I closed my eyes I would be sinking into myself (That is for your own private use. I'd rather like you leak my nudes than leak this. I love you)

I know the computer saved me but I now believe so did u I want to have more photographs of myself with my pretty friends Pupils stretching beyond their ends Digital fingerprint of a tactile memory Do I long for the touch or the static proof U were nice to me the first time I was barely pubescent Reason to believe that was the 2nd time I was born For that child i mourn For you all i am forever in debt Forever grateful If I could wake up next to one of you every morning I would Reach for ur hair instead of reaching for my phone Staring at ur lips instead of scrolling thru ur instagram I know I don't need to pause every moment in time and in pixels Alter the past Shift my reality Everything was perfect when I was with u Everything is perfect when I am with u I know the computer saved me I know I exist inside the screen I know u saved me I know we exist inside this dream This poem is about u This poem is about u If u hear this This poem is about u Facebook blue is fading into ur eyes No algorithm could've predicted this
