lyrics

These separate lives are just lies we tell ourselves
to pacify the static of passing time.
No sense of scale nor direction,
let's burn these maps and spread the ashes.

We'll cut our eyes on new standards,
fuck caution into the wind.
And we make pacts with our dead.
The ground is always cold, no matter where you dig.

A picture's not worth a thousand words.
Erase the memories with just one click.
When thousands of pixels exist,
sever the connection with one more click.
Yes, I'm sure.

A passing thought, a fleeting moment, gone.
It's all lost in so much bits, all passed in so much dust.

These wires connect nothing.
These circuits break hearts.
We lose ourselves in these seas as we lose our humanity.
Comments on selves, it's all gone.
Your fingertips touch nothing at the end of this.
