MODERN LIFE IS LONELY // LYRICS
Hold me close - don’t leave me
In the catacombs.
Everyone, everyone,
Everyone we know will die alone
Help me now, I’m bleeding
Bleeding on the floor
Everything, everything.
Everything inside me is a war
So, they plugged me in
And showed me everything.
Now it’s at my fingers,
Not sure I want this
Too much of a good thing
Not sure I want it anymore
I can’t sleep when the world’s awake
Not sure I want it anymore
They bled the life from me.
And left it to entropy
Because it’s too much of a good thing
Not sure I want it anymore
Modern life is lonely. How do I get off?
Overstimulated by everything I thought would be enough.
So, they plugged me in – perforate my skin.
Now, the door is open, and we can’t close it.
Hair levitates. My iris pixelates.
Can’t feel my fingers. Not sure I want this
Present at the precipice, I teeter at the fulcrum, waiting for a catalyst.
Modern life is lonely; I can’t be the only one.
So, they burrowed through my skull
And changed the chemicals
You and I are mammals
Deeply entangled
Though, we can’t un-change
From all that we became
Now the box is open
the paw is coiling
Modern life is lonely
I can’t be the only one.
