We don't ever go dark, never take our hands off our glass, our glass

I've been physically standing right in front of you

I'm here, what you mean

And you say there's a wall that's invisible stay unseen, unseen

Will I learn to disconnect one day and live for real

Epidemic nobody talks about

Problem on a global scale I'm trying to find a way out

I'm not anti-tech no no no not by any stretch

I'm afflicted by a blight I'm cursed til' I become a wretch

I'm dead inside, I live a lie

I am absorbed by a smartphone my brain is fried

Mother and friends that pray for connection but no we hide

Out in plain sight, unstable relationships I can't deny

I'm not a part of the problem no I am the problem

This new addiction in this age, how can I resolve them

They say it's social media that is addictive not the phones

It's the instrument of torture we take when we leave our homes

I've curated my life on all these apps

But not all of my posts reflect me some are caps

Superficial, audience prejudicial

I go out of my way to show my value but it's drivel

We don't ever go dark, never take our hands off our glass, our glass

I've been physically standing right in front of you

I'm here, what you mean

And you say there's a wall that's invisible stay unseen, unseen

Will I learn to disconnect one day and live for real

In reality we're all average beings

But we rely on our socials to inflate esteem

No matter what I show I'll never be that interesting

If I can get over that I'll move on to some better things

Take a step back, try to get back

All of my withering friendships that we've always been had

Genuine sense of connection I hope we kept that

Never lose sight of what really matters the most

Live your life physically present

Exchange real words, that is not beneath you peasant

I think I see the bigger picture

If I can stop being dependent on my phone, I'll be interacting with you

Life is plenty more beautiful in colors it be richer

This information age is really the pandemic

I think we're all in pain technology is anesthetic

Becoming aware of my need for distraction

It's easier said than done, I just got to take action

We don't ever go dark, never take our hands off our glass, our glass

I've been physically standing right in front of you

I'm here, what you mean

And you say there's a wall that's invisible stay unseen, unseen

Will I learn to disconnect one day and live for real
