Modernity Is A Gateway Drug

It's innovation
The fall of western civilization
Digital medication
If it's not online did it even happen?

A deaf generation
You can't here the screaming through all the noise
Dead information
If nothings true then there's no such thing as choice
I'm writing it all off
I'm adding a lock to my front door
Smash in your TV screen
And ask yourself, are you happier than before?
I think I'm happier than before

Mass condemnation
Pointing fingers everywhere but yourself
You're your own problem
But it's easier just to blame it on someone else
You don't know the difference
Between who you are and who you're claiming to be
Lose touch with everything
Just to broadcast a fake personality
Another fake personality

So dig a hole that's six feet deep
For the memory of the private lives we all had
We're never gonna get them back again
We're never gonna get them back again
And don't worry if you try to call me
And I don't pick up I'm probably just asleep
The goddamn world exhausts me
The goddamn world exhausts me

Permanent vacation
Everybody's sleepwalking through their lives
Gotta stay distracted
It's easier than facing what's not right
Life on probation
Hand over every thought that pops in your head
You're not the owner
Better off just to leave things left unsaid
Just to leave things left unsaid

So dig a hole that's six feet deep
For the memory of the private lives we all had
We're never gonna get them back again
We're never gonna get them back again
And don't worry if you try to call me
And I don't pick up I'm probably just asleep
The goddamn world exhausts me
The goddamn world exhausts me

And I don't wanna die with a phone in my hand
Been feeling so distracted but nobody understands
Under constant pressure to meet the demand
Of handing it all over to their greedy fuckin hands

So dig a hole that's six feet deep
For the memory of the private lives we all had
We're never gonna get them back again

So dig a hole that's six feet deep
For the memory of the private lives we all had
We're never gonna get them back again
We're never gonna get them back again
And don't worry if you try to call me
And I don't pick up I'm probably just asleep
The goddamn world exhausts me
The goddamn world exhausts me

So dig a hole that's six feet deep
For the memory of the private lives we all had
We're never gonna get them back again
We're never gonna get them back again
And don't worry if you try to call me
And I don't pick up I'm probably just asleep
The goddamn world exhausts me
The goddamn world exhausts me
