Digital Numb

Swing a little higher

From the rope that you hang from Needing immediate gradification Severed

From every human connection Held by the throat

But you got the attention

When our bodies fade to nothing

Could you say you lived for something Are you more than everything you show Or do you hang from invisible rope

Swinging from the digital gallows There's no light behind those eyes Are we alive or just born to die

Why are we so shallow

And do we not know

We live in the shadows

Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat We think we can fight it

But, they've already won

Because we've become addicted to the digital numb

Dig a little deeper

Tell me what do you see

Another motherfucker who looks just like me

We know it isn't real

But we choose to believe

We can always unplug but they'll never let us leave

Swinging from the digital gallows Still no light behind those eyes Looking through an artificial disguise

Why are we so shallow

And do we not know

We live in the shadows

Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat We think we can fight it

But, they've already won

Because we've become addicted to the digital numb

They let us think that we have control Humanity's a fantasy

Reality is virtual

We're just swinging around inside this mess we made So busy looking at ourselves we don't see

We're the ones to blame

Why are we so shallow

And do we not know

We live in the shadows

Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat We think we can fight it

But, they've already won

Because we've become addicted to the digital numb

Everyone that you love

Is just zeros and ones Nothing's real until its

Close enough for you to touch Everyone that you love

Is just zeros and ones

Because we've become addicted to the digital numb

We're so disconnected

From what we've become

We're so fucking addicted to the digital numb
