‘the internet’ is about a very difficult time in my life when I was experiencing a large amount of online hate as I was just starting out my artist career. Throwing myself into the process of writing and working on it was really cathartic, and addressing what was making me feel broken and vulnerable head-on ended up making me a lot stronger. Hopefully it’ll resonate and do the same for others, as sadly experiencing online hate is becoming more common for all as social media continues to grow. 🖤⚡

GRACEY - the internet (lyrics)
I don’t think you get it
I was so fucked up and I never said it
Didn’t even tell the friends I had
Knew that I was low didn’t know how bad
I would get these jitters
Lost my sense of humour and I hated mirrors
Never used to see myself like that
Put my heart on the line then I pulled it back
Cause these sharks they bite
No such thing as a private life
Here you go, here’s mine
Here you go, here’s mine
I can’t keep it up
Making out I’m good
Making out that I’m alright
When I sit and cry all night
I think I’m losing touch
Nothing’s quite enough
Making out that I’m alright
Wide awake when I’m still tired
Fuck the internet
Fuck it, yeah
Left to my own devices
I get in my head, baby I’m a Pisces
Feelings they build up in my chest
I can’t tell a soul gotta hold my breath
Yeah, try to hide it though
Turn it up, turn it up, my volume
Always say the loudest in the room, yeah…
I can’t keep it up
Making out I’m good
Making out that I’m alright
When I sit and cry all night
I think I’m losing touch
Nothing’s quite enough
Making out that I’m alright
Wide awake when I’m still tired
Fuck the internet
Fuck it, yeah
I wanna talk
But if I talk I’m gonna cry
And if I cry
I’m gonna have to tell them why
And then I’ll overthink the conversation all night
I’m kinda tired, so I’ll be quiet though I
I wanna talk
But if I talk I’m gonna cry
And if I cry
I’m gonna have to tell ‘em why
And then I’ll overthink the conversation all night
I’m kinda tired, so I’ll be quiet though I
I wanna talk
But if I talk I’m gonna cry
And if I cry
I’m gonna have to tell ‘em why
And then I’ll overthink the conversation all night, all night
I can’t keep it up
Making out I’m good
Making out that I’m alright
When I sit and cry all night
I think I’m losing touch
Nothing’s quite enough
Making out that I’m alright
Wide awake when I’m still tired
Fuck the internet
Fuck it, yeah
Fuck the internet
Fuck it
