the internet and you

Unlimited vitriol
Limited fun
Where you can come and waste your time
But you can't contribute to anyone
A sea of marketing
And posts that aren't true
But still I wade beneath
I wanna feel closer to you

I go to bed
I can't shake them off
The ones and O's they go on and on and on

And online friends
I've left behind
And I reach out my hands
But they can't cross state lines
Cause Ethan is in Pennsylvania
So far away
And I know I could talk to him
But I just can't communicate

I go to bed
I can't shake them
The ones and O's they go on and on and on
But I can't break the curse
The little verse I wrote when I was young enough
To see the lines
Leave them behind
And just float away tonight

Cause digital highways
Are often unstable
And I would mend them
If I was only able

And you know that I could text you
I could reach out and connect
But I'm just so scared that things will never be the same again
Because digital highways
Are often unstable

Whoa
