Dear Sj Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear SJ, how did you do it?
How'd you make the people so hooked?
I want them hooked to the music
Take it in in a drip, it's an emotional trip
I wish everyone heard this shit like I do in my dreams
It breaks at the seams
And I can't keep it in
I can't contain the feeling of finally releasing my friend
I'm out on the edge, it's time to take the leap
And finally leave it down, and take the world instead
I've got zero problems with admitting I've got one
I do my best to change but the world is revolving
Around the thing that distracts me the most
Yeah, I don't think I'll shake it 'til I give up the ghost

[Chorus]
I don't need it
I don't need it
Don't need it, don't need it
I don't need it
I can put it down whenever I like (whenever I like)
I swear it doesn't take up like half of my time
I don't need it
I don't need it
Don't need it, don't need it
I don't need it
I can put it down whenever I like (whenever I like)
I swear it doesn't take up like-
[Verse 2]
And dear replay, how'd you make them do it again?
I wanna keep them at it 'till the inevitable end
I wanna see them crying, feel that shit that I send
But my words don't seem to carry
And how do I pretend to know what I'm doing?
When my head's so full I can hardly hear the music
The kick and that snare vibrate my chest plate
While I do my best to try not look desperate
'Cause I'm not used to this yet, I just keep losing my breath
My eyes are elsewhere
Avoid everything and contact
I feel a phone screen burn up my face as I watch that Seventeenth youtube video in the past 2 hours
Who knew I even cared for fake news and Kardashians?
This is madness
Care about other lives more than we care about our own
We don't care about people as much as we care about our phones
Yeah, open your eyes, take a look around, speak after the tone

[Chorus]
I don't need it
Don't need it, don't need it
I don't need it
I can put it down whenever I like
I swear it doesn't take up like half of my time
I don't need it
I don't need it
Don't need it, don't need it
I don't need it
Can put it down whenever I like (whenever I like)
I swear it doesn't take up like-
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I read that settings tab on my homepage
It said 10.5 hours of a Monday
I've been on my phone for most of the day, tryna keep up to date
Tryna tell you that I got some new music on the way
It's always the same, give me a break
I want them to hear the music but I don't wanna be a slave
To a Facebook page created by my only ego
Though I should change my name and keep my real one on the d-low
But here we go
Here I am asking the dead for advice
But who knows who'll answer your prayers in this life
So show me the light and tell me what's right
Just show me the light and tell me
So dear SJ
How did you do it?
How'd you make the people believe? Have them see you succeed?
Create something so gripping and make this thing so appealing
Make me care so much yet feel so out of touch
Eyes square, fingers tapped to the phone
Playing the same old tune while they keep me on hold
But answer me this
Why'd you make this damn phone?
