lyrics

I’ve heard it every other day
Tell it to me in another way
Blessedness is just a screen away
Take your picture, open up the door

But now my curtain’s thrown open wide
Can I enjoy this from my own side?
Or will you always now cloud my eyes?
Like I wear my sunglasses at night

All the signs say please just let it be
Translated now, no trespassing
But all the commentary’s otherwise
Hey let’s try it, try it on for size

I believe it, I believe it all
Anchors in the pictures on the wall
I believe it till they call my name
Judges of the imitation game

Don’t believe it, don’t believe it all
Neurons firing all electrical
As the lies that fly across the stage
Echo back and forth until they fade

Another smile discovered in the glow
Another face that I’ll never know
But right across from me, a pulse
Beating faster cuz I’m not at home

Another moment filtered, cropped, and saved
Fill a feed I only taste
Overflowing empty bits and waves
I just scroll down another page

I know, you know
But it doesn’t really help
Cuz it feeds, it feeds
a primal part of me

I know you don’t
See me the individual
The clicks at stake (the bait)
My data collectable

I know, no, I don’t
What’s wrong with it anyway?
I’m here, I’m now
At least I think so anyhow

White teeth, white hair
Chambre, green chair,
My toes, the clouds,
My baby’s first words

I believe it at least so much
I believe as much as I can touch
And my friends across state lines
It’s like I never really left their side

I look back three years ago
A memory that we once had known
I miss you now more than I ever have
I numb out and scroll down
