I’ve been bowing down and feeling low

And it feels like I’m surrendering my soul

Every time I take my phone out of my pocket

I start to die a little more

And they told me, but I guess I never learned

If you hold it to the flame, it’s gonna burn

And if you do it long enough, what you do

Begins to feel like who you are

Oh, can you hear me?

Oh, are you near me?

Oh, I’ve been singing an ambivalent song

Here in Babylon

Everything here’s easy to believe

But nothing has been satisfying me

And every time I think I’ve come a little closer

I trip over my own feet

And they told me, but I guess I never tried

If you wanna live, you’re gonna have to die

And if you’re captive long enough, the in your cell

You’ll start believing that you’re free

Oh, but are you free?

Oh, are you with me?

Oh, is this living?

Oh, I’m having trouble telling profit from wrong

Here it Babylon

Oh, can you hear me?

Oh, are you near me?

Oh, are you with me?

Oh, is this living?

Oh, I think maybe

Oh, you could save me

Oh, see I was born here, but I know I don’t belong

Here in Babylon
