Digital Lives

There was a time when we would look back

At the memories we all know

Dust off all the old albums

Tinted with sepia and monochrome

Gather friends round to laugh at

The crazy things that we used to do

Our best times are always treasured

The worst times just don't make it through

Kept safe, behind glass doors

Locked away for a century

No purpose without sentiment

Just another accessory

Time, time changes us from the people that we used to be

This life is too short lived to get hung upon memories

So we sit, update, 'cause we don't want to miss a thing

Get likes, feel loved and wait for the warmth it brings

We have cured amnesia. We've created time travel

Live our lives through screens and wires

If we wake up suddenly with no memory

At least we know we're not lost in reverie

Close all existence and look forward to when we die

Live on forever, through respiratory AI

We're all dying, from our very first breath

Disease, cancer, we've not much time left

Our digital lives, controlling me

Our digital lives, it's all I can see

Our digital lives, no more sanity

Our digital lives, taking over me

Taking over me

We know, on our death beds, we look back

On our death beds, we look back
