Loved Through A Screen Lyrics

Industrialize me, monetize me

Supersize me, Americanize me

Don't surprise me, don't unbind me

Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see

Let me go the way of my fathers

I was baptized in water

But I was also capsized by the blood on their hands

America, the Christian nation

We've turned the Logos into a logo

We made Jesus a brand

So you can industrialize me

Monetize me, digitize me

And compromise me.

Don't surprise me, don't unbind me

Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see

Why would I stick out

When I can blend in

Is monotony some sort of sin

So don't radicalize me

Or galvanize me

I'd prefer to know my future

You can Clavinize me

I'd prefer to stay hidden

They call the lost seekers

What a sham

We seek in folly

We seek in vain

We seek our own plans

Paradoxically, we're hidden

In caves and caverns

And hidden in pain

So why break the norms

When you can industrialize me

And monetize me

And Supersize me

Americanize me

Compromise me

Compromise me

Compromise me

Compromise me

All so that you can eventually idolize me

Oh, because that's where all this vanity leads

If I don't worship the real thing

I'll need you to worship me

So idolize me, celebritize me

Make me the object of your affection

So you can fuel my obsession with being seen

Because I've seen images in technology

but they don't see me

And if I'm unseen

Well, I'm gonna need you

To industrialize me, digitize me

Monetize me, and supersize me

Then you can compromise my humanity

So that someone may venerate me

Into a projected image of some cheap god

Who cracks at the seams

Friends, I'm gonna need you

To Idolize me

Idolize me

Idolize me

Idolize me

Because I've idolized so many people

I've only seen through technological means

I don't know them and they don't know me

Why would I be any different

When I can go in the way of all human beings

And simply settle for being

Loved through a screen

Industrialize me

Digitize me

Monetize me

Love me through a screen

Love me through a screen

Love me through a screen

I'm terrified of being known

So I'll settle for being seen
