lyrics

Hello and welcome, we've been waiting here for you.
A small empire hooked on everything you do.
We'll keep you from being beaten up and bruised,
Just feed us every day with all your personal views.

By any means, buy any means to feel anything.
Keep spending energy on recognition reciprocity.
By any means, buy any means to feel anything.
Create a cult of safe spaces where everybody knows your name.

You're losing steam. We haven't heard from you in quite a while.
Just spew out all your guts and ignore the petty bile.
You'll be remembered for the insight you provide
On how the world's messed up and you're the only one who’s right.

By any means, buy any means to feel anything.
Keep spending energy on recognition reciprocity.
By any means, buy any means to feel anything.
Create a cult of safe spaces where everybody knows your name.

Stop chasing morals and pleasing people you will never meet.
Vapid validation, depreciating currency.
Build homes from broken phones on foundations of electricity.
Erect a city as a monument to who we'd rather be.

We all try and act and fall and fail.
We're "living life" to no avail.
Erect false homes from zeros and ones
To hide our inner demons.

Stop pretending. It’s just a waste of time.
Stop pretending. Perpetuating lies.
Stop pretending. It’s just a waste of time.
Stop Pretending. You're barely alive.
