Digital Numb

Swing a little higher
From the rope that you hang from
Needing immediate gratification
Severed from every human connection
Held by the throat but you got the attention
When our bodies fade to nothing
Could you say you lived for something?
Are you more than everything you show
Or do you hang from invisible rope?
Swinging from the digital gallows
There's no light behind those eyes
Are we alive or just born to die?
Why are we so shallow and do we not know
We live in the shadows

Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat
We think we can fight it but they've already won
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb
Dig a little deeper, tell me what do you see
Another motherfucker who looks just like me
We know it isn't real but we choose to believe
We can always unplug but they'll never let us leave
Swinging from the digital gallows
Still no light behind those eyes
Looking through an artificial disguise
Why are we so shallow and do we not know
We live in the shadows

Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat
We think we can fight it but they've already won
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb
They let us think that we have control
Humanity's a fantasy
Reality is virtual
Goodbye
We're just swinging around inside this mess we made
So busy looking at ourselves
We don't see we're the ones to blame
Why are we so shallow and do we not know
We live in the shadows

Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat
We think we can fight it but they've already won
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb
Everyone that you love is just zeros and ones
Nothing's real until it's close enough for you to touch
Everyone that you love is just zeros and ones
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb
Yeah
We're so disconnected from what we've become
We're so fucking addicted to the digital numb
