[00:02.267]The comment section's burning with a thousand takes
[00:06.311]No matter what you answer, they keep raising stakes
[00:10.933]You type a friendly fact, and they call it an attack
[00:15.489]The louder voice is right and the calm one gets the flak
[00:20.667]The online thread's a circus made of mirror fights
[00:24.756]And everyone's a winner with self-righteous might
[00:29.222]But I've been through this rodeo enough to know
[00:33.822]The whole argument was settled years ago
[00:38.978]No badge or like will ever pay the wasted time
[00:43.067]I'd rather spend my hours on things that climb
[00:47.511]The scoreboard in the comment feed was never mine
[00:52.044]So I close the tab and keep my own design
[00:56.644]These threads only want my minutes counted into scores
[01:01.289]And no one is keeping score when the outrage just roars
[01:05.844]I'm cashing my minutes and moving slow
[01:10.311]This comment war is always priced too low
[01:14.533]The thread is raging
[01:17.756]I read one line and see the game
[01:22.222]My minutes are too pricey for games
[01:26.778]Ego match grants nothing that I claim
[01:32.489]I let the thread spin
[01:34.689]No badge from a stranger will buy my name
[01:39.267]I cash my focus for the long game
[01:43.733]The price of this fight is not worth the fame
[01:49.333]I'm not swayed
[01:52.078]The red badge just keeps climbing all day
[01:56.567]But I've already stepped off the highway
[02:01.189]They can throw their tantrums at the whole page
[02:04.700]I won't engage with every pixel click and rage
[02:09.122]The point of a post is not to win a war
[02:13.056]I've seen the price of keeping every little score
[02:17.500]They're arguing with cut-out versions of their own pride
[02:21.989]So I just let the pointless little verdict slide
[02:27.500]I have got no spare minutes to watch their shows
[02:31.589]I've got my own pages that I can compose
[02:35.967]The comment war was never a real place to grow
[02:40.367]So what's the point? I'd rather build what I can sow
[02:45.411]They want me to answer every online thread with fire
[02:49.567]But I've clocked out early; let the takers just expire
[02:54.122]I owe them no verse, no angry reply
[02:58.456]My answer is just a quiet goodbye
[03:02.656]The thread is raging
[03:05.478]I read one line and see the game
[03:09.833]The screen can keep its thumbs and fake names
[03:13.811]I've got a whole life beyond this frame
[03:19.878]I'll step outside now
[03:22.078]The air outside is worth more than their game
[03:26.500]My thoughts are mine, not a thread to tame
[03:31.033]I don't need the last word to know my name
[03:36.878]I'm alright
