lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day we're diving into this social media cesspool
We never left, we stay connected but regret use
Ever tethered but neglecting what we've been through
And who we've been through it with, the wretched internet’s fooled
Everyone, and anyone who's been anyone
Cuz everyone is a better someone when pressing thumbs
We're waiting patiently for an event that never comes
See we've all said it once but never cut the engines off
As I speak you probably see this on your newsfeed
I wrote my lyrics on a screen instead of loose leaf
Our lucid dream is all illusions so we boost reach
But who sees? Ain't nobody never lose sleep

[Chorus]
Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

[Verse 2]
So listen to lame lyrics, the digital age here is
The pivotal place apparently winning with fake appearances
We take a mirror and make up a made up heretic
Aware we can't compare to our faces' opaque comparisons
We label lessons to make a better impression
We make our messages more impressive with made up headings
We take offense to like everything ever, man he petty (mani-pedi)
We'd better watch where we step 'fore we get our hands messy
Cuz we don't know if it's fake news or real news
And we all know it got fake views and we still use it
Defending stupid and foolish hooligans, real rude
I feel crude in my cruel speech but it's still true
Heed my words and believe my verse
See you'll defeat the curse if you can leave and learn
To put your screen down and be a people person
We need to learn that we can be imperfect

[Verse 3]
Social media owns hope and dreams
Folks throw up a meme and then gloat when their post's seen
Hoping to go disease, coast to coast and overseas
Wholly focusing only on loneliness sold on screens
Or so it seems, it's sorta like
Roaming nights spent solo on a mobile device, right?
We gotta grow with our sight
And take our eyes off our phones so we can focus on life, all right?
