Livin' thru the screen

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)
