Reality Obscene
Every day it's been
will I sink or swim
I struggle to keep composed
It's a battle that no one knows
It physically hurts me
That this is reality
Grey matter's in short supply
Please run this gene pool dry
Brainless legions
Glued to your screens
Neglected brain regions
A reality obscene
Potential squandered
Brainless legions
Glued to your screens
Potential squandered
We're unremarkable
Explicitly Unremembered
Extinction of intellect
Brilliance severed
Every ounce of data at our fingertips
We've never had more potential
Then why does vacuousness
Eclipse universally
Everything of remark
You liking, hearting, scrolling, drooling plebs
I feel like I am dead, halfway from
Existential dread, mostly from
Living subliminal
And intelligence is criminal
I've never felt more alone
For rationales still unknown
Do I just break and give in
Despite discontent and chagrin, yes
I've joined the brainless legions
Glued to my screen
Stupid is as stupid does
I never accomplish anything
Useless and brainless
Stupid is as stupid does
I never accomplish anything
Useless and brainless
Sometimes I just feel like
A zombie liking, sharing
Aimlessly scrolling, scrolling
Selling my soul for likes and showing
A pure complete lack of
Developed gray matter
A liking, hearting, scrolling, drooling pleb
Now I feel like I'm fitting in with a passion
Blowing up with selfies and this super tight fashion
I'll do and say anything for a heart and a follow
Bottle up and swallow down feelings of hollow
Life partitioned, completely conditioned
Thumbs on autopilot, zero cognition
Brain partitioned, completely conditioned
I've chosen recognition over any cognition now
I've traded in my cynicism
A perception exorcism
I don't think, I just whore, filling
Each moment with social tumors
They grow and grow and grow
Some from chance and some gusto
I'm cancerous but I feel whole
Sometimes you just have to give up control
Brainless legions
Glued to our screens
The most gifted don't breed
A reality obscene
Potential squandered
Brainless legions
Glued to our screens
Useless and brainless
A reality obscene
With infinite dopamine
A drab and bleak routine
Soul-crushing machine
will I sink or swim
I struggle to keep composed
It's a battle that no one knows
It physically hurts me
That this is reality
Grey matter's in short supply
Please run this gene pool dry
Brainless legions
Glued to your screens
