Oh you say we’ve moved so far ahead,
But invest into a failing trend,
Call everyone I meet a friend,
But I drink myself alone to bed,
In a place where you will hardly see,
A person breathing on two feet,
Without their tiny hand-held leash,
Illusion is reality.
Don’t know what’s real anymore,
I’m angry all the time.
I feel the disconnect,
& I’m so unsatisfied.
Places that just don’t exist,
But you get your validation fix,
Through pictures and envious clicks,
Where life ain’t lived, it’s on a list.
Hey, I am the generation,
Staring at a screen,
I’m so alive!
Hey, I am the generation,
Staring at a screen,
Until I die!
Oh I can’t endure the face to face,
Select out of all the best takes,
Judge pageants full of smiling fakes,
And what is flawed can be erased.
If I die before I wake,
I pray my soul lives on.
In the billion user files,
I’ve based my life upon.
Fifteen hats upon my head,
But none to keep me warm.
And if the memories fade,
And if the world slips away,
I’ll make sure I was perfectly portrayed.
There is a reckoning,
There is a reckoning,
I hear the reckoning ring.
