Existential threats always haunt me…
No matter where I go, it’s a ghost
That haunts me.
Despite the hope that burns, I'm consumed by the fear.
No matter what we do or say,
Nothing can ever be the same.
A countdown until annihilation
And everyone’s stuck on their screens not caring about what’s real.
Am I the only one living in reality?!
Honestly it feels like
It’s only a matter of time
Before they see that this artificial wave has burned the human race!
I hate that it’s in my DNA!
As if it was programmed into me,
A desire to ignore it all and stay
Consuming the latest craze for the rest of my days.
The future’s uncertainties were born
From this generation that desired
Endless entertainment.
“Anything to free me from the pain”,
They said without knowing the costs.
And now let’s suffer because
There’s nothing left in reality to care about.
But there’s gotta be more to life
Than empty promises and
Endless things to watch.
I crave something that’s real!
A meaningful story that
I can tell without
A world that’s desiring Hell.
Perhaps it’s my fault
For wanting this addiction,
But as a kid what else is there to do
Except wanna follow the artificial wave?
No one knows how to be real in
This messed up world.
Why do I get more enjoyment
Losing myself to the artificial tastes that humanity’s made?!
I’m sick of the constant feeds!
Everyone’s stuck living on their screens!
All of this while I’m stuck in reality
Watching everyone act like zombies.
I hate how the infection got to me!
This generation loss is all but complete!
We’re addicted to what we wanna have
So much so that we forfeit our lives here now.
The entertainment is all we want!
No matter the costs, it’s always
Gonna be bought!
Our lives are a lie on our screens,
Pretending to be someone who we can’t be!
And I’ve feeded into this artificial wave
Of denying reality.
What we want is entertainment
On demand.
“Who cares about those that make it?
Give it to us now or you’ll be forgotten!”
And I’m tired of trying to ride
This artificial wave.
Tired of trying to even fit in this world
That doesn’t even exist!
For so long people like me thought this
Was the only way to live!
But that’s not true,
I live for myself and not this machine that is in front of me!
The entertainment doesn’t have to control me,
We’re the ones who can write new stories.
My desire to try to make reality free from this artificial wave.
Annihilation is on the brink and
Everyone’s stuck in a world that
Doesn’t even care.
But who’s to say that this world is even there?
We all can try to change,
The world would be better that way.
No more supply and demand for this
Addiction.
We can be free from this phase.
Break these chains and revolt against
This warped form of the artificial wave.
This addiction can finally end...
