Mindless - 2023 Acoustic Demo

Mindless searching
Awaiting something good

Mindless scrolling
Excusing what you could

Mindless watching
Observing flame burn wood

Mindless fiction
Change terrifies
Me and you
But what can you do

It's happening
It's burning
We're drowning

This future seems vacant
Inconceivable
But too near

Mindless ticking
The small print never read
Mindless blocking
Dying voices put to bed
Mindless liking
Written quotes not to be said

Mindless façade
Don't ever break the loop
We're in for good
We're locked inside the design

We're scared to face
The changes that are
Calling you
From the outside

You never see people pick and choose
But those highlights keep depressing you
Keep scrolling, finding something to do
But look these plastic bags of content are brand new

For me, I use to distract myself
The world is falling more off of it's shelf
Suffocating's bad for your health
But I stopped breathing because I think that helps

Mindlessly awaiting
Mindlessly awaiting
Mindlessly awaiting
Mindlessly awaiting for a cure to come

You know
There's always a world out there
You know
There's many folk who wanna hear

You know
You're not alone in your fear
You know
You never have to stay right here

You know
You know
You know
You know

Feel that daunting weight quietly slumber
Whispers don't leave you'll be dead in thunder
Stay online and be in touch for a few
But look how connected we all grew

Make sure you have yourself a side
Behave a certain way and they'll decide
Please forget thinking for yourself
All for the cost to stay civilised

What ever happened to peace and love
What ever happened to helping strangers
What ever happened to being one world
What ever happened to no push for shove

All these expectations cause tensions to rise
Binary oppositions over time
Human borders further synthesized
There goes our private lives

Where the hell did all the good times go
I want to distract myself but I feel more woe
Getting fixated on skewed stories though
I can't believe any of it to be true

I can't tell you who's motivated
Who's motivated, who's uneducated
There's such a stark difference in-between
But you're never going to see behind the screen

Satire or truth
The lines blend more and more
It's just another short boost so
I don't mourn anymore

You see they want me to love this hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I don't want to live in the real world
I'll pay my time for the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world

I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world

Mindless searching
Awaiting something good

Mindless scrolling
Excusing what you could

Mindless watching
Observing flame burn wood

Mindless singing
I think it's time for a new song
