What’s it all mean to be a human When all I glean is through a screen? And who am I? -- if all I see is But the screen in front of me?
Who is me in the network topology?
1s and 0s frozen in time
(Running from screen to screen)
Unbeknownst to me
Well what are we but pixels in the wind?
Nowadays anyways
I see the mirror in front of me, but it
Doesn’t have a filter that suits me
And the river running thru the field
Just doesn’t captivate me anymore
It’s just so boring everything
( and everyone)
Just send the highlights to my screens
Well my brain just ain’t the same
Since I entered the screen game
I keep looking everywhere I go
For a screen to make me feel home
And the people around me
(I can’t stand the people)
Well They’re just not as interesting
As my screen
I tell them that’s nice and all
(But why not just shoot me a text?)
(We can talk about it then)
Just me and my screens
Well it’s the life of dreams
You can tell I’m so happy
Just look at my photo feed
I been to all the beautiful places
And I stuffed them into my screens
So you can see them as part of me
And I’ll appear less shallowly
The night is calling but it’s ok
I always have a little light beside me
It’s usually in my pocket
(Well It’s my lantern in this world after all)
Nothing seems like quite the luxury
A far cry from my life of screenplay
It’s always ringing to get my attention
And I just don’t have the stamina
To say no
(To say no anymore)
Song
