Loved Through a Screen
Industrialize me, monetize me
Supersize me, Americanize me
Don't surprise me, don't unbind me
Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see
Let me go the way of my fathers
I was baptized in water
But I was also capsized by the blood on their hands
America, the Christian nation
We've turned the Logos into a logo
We made Jesus a brand
So you can industrialize me
Monetize me, digitize me
And compromise me.
Don't surprise me, don't unbind me
Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see
Why would I stick out
When I can blend in
Is monotony some sort of sin
So don't radicalize me
Or galvanize me
I'd prefer to know my future
You can Calvinize me
I'd prefer to stay hidden
They call the lost seekers
What a sham
We seek in folly
We seek in vain
We seek our own plans
Paradoxically, we're hidden
In caves and caverns
And hidden in pain
So why break the norms
When you can industrialize me
And monetize me
And Supersize me
Americanize me
Compromise me
Compromise me
Compromise me
Compromise me
All so that you can eventually idolize me
Oh, because that's where all this vanity leads
If I don't worship the real thing
I'll need you to worship me
So idolize me, celebritize me
Make me the object of your affection
So you can fuel my obsession with being seen
Because I've seen images in technology
but they don't see me
And if I'm unseen
Well, I'm gonna need you
To industrialize me, digitize me
Monetize me, and supersize me
Then you can compromise my humanity
So that someone may venerate me
Into a projected image of some cheap god
Who cracks at the seams
Friends, I'm gonna need you
To Idolize me
Idolize me
Idolize me
Idolize me
Because I've idolized so many people
I've only seen through technological means
I don't know them and they don't know me
Why would I be any different
When I can go in the way of all human beings
And simply settle for being
Loved through a screen
Industrialize me
Digitize me
Monetize me
Love me through a screen
Love me through a screen
Love me through a screen
I'm terrified of being known
So I'll settle for being seen
Supersize me, Americanize me
Don't surprise me, don't unbind me
Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see
Let me go the way of my fathers
I was baptized in water
But I was also capsized by the blood on their hands
America, the Christian nation
We've turned the Logos into a logo
We made Jesus a brand
So you can industrialize me
Monetize me, digitize me
And compromise me.
Don't surprise me, don't unbind me
Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see
Why would I stick out
When I can blend in

Love me through a screen
I'm terrified of being known
So I'll settle for being seen
