The Black Mirror

Hello to friends I've acquired
I'll need a moment to recognize
Your opinion's starting to shine
But still impressed with all of the likes

Or should I look away instead?
Because I let it go to my head
If the media says that I'm already dead
Should I spread resurrection direct from my bed?
And explain all the pain is from what I became
Complain that the meme is too viral for me

You're not supposed to feel so cheap
The mornings weep and people cry
The thief in tow that's shining bright
It's not supposed to steal your sleep
The crystal knows, it won't be quiet
Another wasted Sunday night

And while we wait for a time
Or for the better years to arrive
Every time that I see a reflection of me
In a screen that I need to abbreviate things
Was it something I said, or maybe a threat?
Should I try to defend while the voices linger?

You're not supposed to feel so cheap
The mornings weep and people cry
The thief in tow that's shining bright
It's not supposed to steal your sleep
The crystal knows, it won't be quiet
Another wasted Sunday night to dream

Sound the alarms, it's time to breathe

I want you to kill me if I try
To teach the animal inside of me to survive
Peel away the patience to behave for its device

The thief in tow that's shining bright

Another wasted Sunday night
