So alone in our digital worldThe walls are closing in
Shrinking down to the box in the palm of my hand
The shock has settled in
Fibers and wires
Feed me the link that we desireEvery circuit getting smarter
Every signal getting stronger
But our ties are getting weaker
And I see us sinking deeperI see it sinking deeperFlawed relations of ones and zeroes connecting us to our digital heroes
An anti-social network where everyone's a fucking expertI see it sinking deeperHollow as a hologram
Electricity without the spar
Hearts left to flicker and fade
Out in the darkSo alone in our digital worldImpulses flowing through my veins
Impulses flowing through copper
Flowing in waves
It feels so close
Yet so far awayEvery circuit getting smarter
Every signal getting stronger
But our ties are getting weaker
And I see us sinking deeperI see it sinking deeperThe walls are closing in
