Blue light and a wide eye
Ain't catching no sleep
But my screen time was way down
Eight percent last week
It's more than addiction
It's more like disease
That's killing the courage in me
Manipulation, interpretation you can't get far
With calculations, configurations we own your heart
We cripple the nation, you're comfort is key
And you bow at our feet
Why would I give this up
This state of euphoria
This dream, don't wake me up
But it's never gonna be enough, never be enough
Purpose and progress, we're caught in between
When I find validation from everyone looking at me
Digital motivation is a dangerous thing
But tell me how bad could it be
Apparitions and strangers
Sell my soul to a ghost
Parasitic companion
And they made me the host
Suffocate for attention
Do you like what you see?
A prettier version of me
We got their praise and the affirmation but still need more
We're codependent and narcissistic, we're insecure
Chemical stimulation, the whole world on my phone
I've never felt alone
Why would I give this up
This state of euphoria
This dream, don't wake me up
But it's never gonna be enough, never be enough
Purpose and progress, we're caught in between
When I find validation from everyone looking at me
Digital motivation is a dangerous thing
But tell me how bad could it be
Thought I got myself clean
Getting back on my feet
Giving in so easily
Am I walking alone
Just another one
Keeping me young and naive
Why would I give this up
This state of euphoria
This dream, don't wake me up
But it's never gonna be enough, never be enough
Purpose and progress, we're caught in between
When I find validation from everyone looking at me
Digital motivation is a dangerous thing
But tell me how bad could it be
