[Intro] Auto-tuned my pain away But it comes back anyway Synthetic sorrow in my chest Can't put my heart to rest [Verse 1] Pills and filters numb the ache But they can't heal what's gonna break Inside this hollow digital space Where I can't see your real face Every text's a knife that cuts deeper Every call makes me a weeper Synthetic love in plastic hearts Tearing my whole soul apart [Pre-Chorus] Strip away the auto-tune Let me cry beneath the moon Raw emotion, no effects This is real, not what you'd expect [Chorus] Synthetic sorrow feels so real When you can't process what you feel R&B mixed with trap percussion Hyperpop's mass destruction Of my carefully built facade Now I'm crying to my God Synthetic sorrow, synthetic pain Dancing in the acid rain [Verse 2] Used to think that fame would heal All the wounds that wouldn't seal Now I'm famous for my sadness Swimming in this digital madness Every stream's a tear I've cried Every view's a piece that died Of the person I used to be Before the world could see me bleed [Pre-Chorus] Strip away the auto-tune Let me cry beneath the moon Raw emotion, no effects This is real, not what you'd expect [Chorus] Synthetic sorrow feels so real When you can't process what you feel R&B mixed with trap percussion Hyperpop's mass destruction Of my carefully built facade Now I'm crying to my God Synthetic sorrow, synthetic pain Dancing in the acid rain [Bridge] Pull the plug on all machines Let me feel what feeling means Without the filters and the noise Let me find my human voice In this synthetic sorrow Maybe I'll find my morrow [Final Chorus] Synthetic sorrow feels so real Now I know just what I feel R&B mixed with trap percussion Hyperpop's reconstruction Of my broken, beating heart This is where my healing starts Synthetic sorrow taught me pain But now I'm dancing in the rain [Outro] Auto-tuned my pain away But I choose to feel today Synthetic sorrow in my chest Finally putting heart to rest
