lyrics

When the virtual trumps the personal,
It's the start of the downfall
Leaving friends behind for what's not alive,
Making us feel small

You scroll and you scroll, validation your goal,
But what about who's by your side?
Can't wait to hit send, where the fuck are your friends?
Contemplate your own demise.

Can’t leave it up to our generation,
Dissolving out into the clouds so fast such an abomination.
Instead of living by what they think of you,
A chance to live inside the moment, it’s really all that we can do

Living life through a screen, day by day the routine
It has to be unfulfilling.
Eyes down, fingers fly, your smile it denies,
What you do cannot be thrilling

Get me out of here, I need to take a fucking breath.
The waves that penetrate our brain,
Will bring us closer to our death
And I'm trying to rise above, the sea of glowing lights.
Addiction it's so strong

Can't leave it up to our generation.
I’m taken over by this frustration
So plug in to connect, and wrap those cables around my neck
Brain waves fade. No hope no future any way.
All the same, when you play the game, nothing else will change
