Here's Wishing!

Our darkest secrets aren't in dusty attic tomes
We share them sitting on the shitter, boredly browsing through our phones
Cavemen captivated, shadows on the wall
Our primitive privations reachable right from the stall

What better way
To pass our lives
Than tinkering with machines and staring at screens all day and night
Swipes and clicks
Loading times
Anything for which a heart pines a mind can divine

And every time
That router sings
We trade away a little DNA for digital wings
But you're still convinced
You remain the master in this ones and zero sum game

Here's wishing we can be more
Than a little one-act play
Fated to symbolize what came before
Anachronism on display
Trotted around the better to please the gods
That we all helped create
Still waiting for the future to call
Could this be it

Airtight encryption to secure your darkest secrets
A future digital wrecking ball won't break a sweat to see it
Lapping up your lapses laughing at your weakness
Laying legends low with one misplaced misfire missive
What care have we for what they find
Studying a legacy for any flaw in the design
You petty fool, you were never the master in this ones and zero sum game

Here's wishing we can be more
Than a little one-act play
Fated to symbolize what came before
Anachronism on display
Trotted around the better to please the gods
That we all helped create
Still waiting for the future to call
Could this be it

Here's wishing we can be more
Fated to symbolize what came before
Trotted around the better to please the gods
Still waiting for the future to call
