Basically, I am the apple of my eye
My parents? Yeah, but look, I'm the beauty in this story
I've got mirrors placed around my house for there is a second I cannot miss
Me, myself and I, always at hand, my trusted selfie-stick
A story straight onto Instagram of pics just taken on a girls night out
What can I add; big bunny eyes, a cute little nose and a naughty pornstar pout
With the guys I meet, they're nearly as fit as me
Muscles on show, fake tan glowing ****** into their skinny fit T
Basically, my life is perfect as you can see everyday on social media
It's the effects that drain out the reality and they are all out to fool you

But nobody leads a life as perfect as these

When was the last time you had a day when absolutely nothing went wrong?
These people we presume live in perfection, where a trip to the toilet is just a perfect release from the amazing pictured food they had just eaten
They have never been hurt as their friends are all so wholesome
A divorce in their family, that only happens in a world of others that is gruesome
But yes, they hide it well as the same **** does still happen
It's the lives of today where you can edit this stuff and no-one can frown upon
It gives the fake reality of how we do really live
As we strain every imperfection through the computers built in media sieve
