Attention Whore

You move like a spark in a room soaked in gasoline, (gasoline)

Eyes scanning every corner just to confirm you’re seen (immature),

Every step rehearsed(fake), every breath a performance(actress),

You chase the crowd’s gaze like it’s vital importance(shallow).

You paint your life loud so the silence won’t catch you(obnoxious),

You post your whole soul hoping someone reacts to(puppet),

You chase validation like it’s oxygen’s twin(vapor),

And the moment it fades, you start over again(robotic).

You build your whole world out of mirrors and praise(vanity),

Needing strangers to tell you you’re worthy today(vanilla),

You dress up your wounds in designer distraction(phony),

You fear being still, so you live for reaction(problem).

You talk like a prophet but move like a ghost(snake),

You brag about love but you need it the most(tired),

You hide all your doubts in a glittering shell(wannabe),

But the cracks in your shine always tell on you well(liar).

Hook: Attention whore (yeah), attention whore(omg), you only feel alive when u think they want you more,

Attention whore(yeah), attention whore(ridiculous), you chase another high you can’t ignore,

Attention whore(yeah), attention whore(O’ yeah), you’re starving for a love you can’t restore,

Attention whore(puppet), attention whore(i c strings), you keep knocking on a thousand empty doors(validate me).

You scroll through your life like a highlight reel(weak),

Editing truth into something surreal(fake),

You measure your worth by the clicks and the views(ewe),

But the moment they stop(pain), you collapse from the bruise(loose).

You’re terrified someone will see who you are(two faced),

So you shine even brighter to hide every scar(pretender),

You run from your shadow but trip on your past(clueless),

Trying to outrun a storm that you built to last(caught).

You speak like a leader but shake when alone(scared),

You crave every spotlight carved into your bones(broken),

You’re loud in the crowd but you’re quiet in truth(nothing),

Still chasing the love you were missing in youth(loose).

You want to be worshipped but fear being known(hollow),

You want to be followed but stand there alone(known),

You want to be chosen but don’t choose yourself(loathing),

You want to be healed but sabotage help(sabotage).

Hook:

Attention whore (toxic), attention whore (toxic), you only feel alive when they want you more,

Attention whore(weak), attention whore (weak), you chase another high you can’t ignore,

Attention whore (weak), attention whore (weak), you’re starving for a love you can’t restore,(no more)

(X2) Attention whore, (thirsty) attention whore, (thirsty) you keep knocking on a thousand empty doors.
