Oxygen Lyrics

Our innocence has long been lost

Into the static of an electronic haze

We made

Do you feel it growing in your heart

That sinking feeling that just won't go away

It drowns you every day

And I'm feeling broken

We hardly need oxygen anymore

My propane-fueled heart has run out its course

Your cracked self-esteem locked in a digital cage

Who cares who we are on the inside

Our real life has long been lost

Its strands uploaded day by day

It decays, decays

My restless gaze is growing weak

The pixels bring me to my knees

My secrets they

They suffocate me

We hardly need oxygen anymore

My propane-fueled heart has run out its course

Your cracked self-esteem locked in a digital cage

Who cares who we are on the inside

Why do we as a society judge our own lives

Based on the ideal persona put forward by others

Onto a platform that values vanity and pretense over everything else

I don't think the human spirit can be condensed

Into bite-sized chunks of media that amplify the ambiguous good

While unknowingly alienating others from their own lives

We're all better than that

We hardly need oxygen anymore

My propane-fueled heart has run out its course

Your cracked self-esteem locked in a digital cage

Who cares who we are on the inside
