Digital Native

No I'm not bored. I can be alone.
Directing interaction
I've got the time
To perfect myself till I am clean
All safe and sound behind a screen

No I'm not tired of talking to my phone
Not aching for connection
I'm not afraid
To let it go so you can see
What's safe and sound behind a screen
I can make you believe
Again and again and again and again

'Cause I can only know you in real time
My heart behind a screen and my soul offline
'Cause I can only judge you in real time
I can only love you in real time

No I'm not bored. I can be alone
Directing interaction
I've got the time
To manipulate all my mistakes
Relax the jaw from my voice that shakes

No I'm not bored. I can be alone
Friends are my distractions
They've got the time
When I define you the way I want
You can't hide secrets behind your face
And I can be alone
Again and again and again and again

I can think of better things and better ways, but I can't make it be
She's at odds to know her mind cause her mind is all she has to know it with
She can know her heart, but she doesn't want to
You can find hate in the least of creatures, and a creature that can do anything
Make a machine
And a machine to make the machine
And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend to it

We're different people when I can't see your face

'Cause I can only know you in real time
My heart behind a screen and my soul offline
'Cause I can only judge you in real time
I can only love you in real time
