Digital Lives

There was a time when we would look back
At the memories we all know
Dust off all the old albums
Tinted with sepia and monochrome
Gather friends round to laugh at
The crazy things that we used to do
Our best times are always treasured
The worst times just don't make it through
Kept safe, behind glass doors
Locked away for a century
No purpose without sentiment
Just another accessory

Time, time changes us from the people that we used to be
This life is too short lived to get hung upon memories
So we sit, update, 'cause we don't want to miss a thing
Get likes, feel loved and wait for the warmth it brings

We have cured amnesia. We've created time travel
Live our lives through screens and wires

If we wake up suddenly with no memory
At least we know we're not lost in reverie
Close all existence and look forward to when we die
Live on forever, through respiratory AI

We're all dying, from our very first breath
Disease, cancer, we've not much time left

Our digital lives, controlling me
Our digital lives, it's all I can see
Our digital lives, no more sanity
Our digital lives, taking over me

Taking over me

We know, on our death beds, we look back
On our death beds, we look back
