Check this shit
More knowledge... and somehow we still gettin dumber
Ayo
We hold the Library of Alexandria inside a pocket But treat the sum of human history like a discarded locket. We got the keys to the kingdom, every answer provided, But the wisdom is missing, and the spirit’s divided. See, access to everything made us value nothing, We trade the truth for the texture of a digital bluffing. I stepped out of the physical, into the pixelated, Where the dopamine is synthesized and highly concentrated. Out there, the sky is grey, the interaction is slow, But in here the saturation is on a violent glow. Why deal with the silence when I can scroll through the noise? We’re just organic batteries for these silicon toys
Shut all the curtains and bolt every door
We don't need to look at the sky anymore
The static is warm and it hums in our sleep
Promises made that we don’t have to keep
I’m numb to the bone
I’m perfectly alone
It’s so perfect in here
It’s so perfect in here
The world outside is just a little unclear
We go everywhere, but we disappear
It’s so perfect in here
Everyone’s a god in here
A kingdom of nothing, a crown made of glass
Watching the seconds and centuries pass
We don’t feel the hurt and we don’t feel the fear
We’re happy to swallow the lie while we’re here
Everyone’s a god in here
Yeah, everyone’s a god in here
But nobody’s alive in here
They put a hundred emotions in a sixty-second span
Emotional parkour without a safety plan
I see a warzone, swipe up, now a cat playing piano
Cognitive dissonance sipping on an Americano
My empathy is fried, my circuits are overloaded
Every feeling is flattened, every context eroded
I can speak in every tongue, I can quote every sage
But I’m a prisoner locked inside a goddamn plastic cage
We sit in a crowded room, proximity is a lie
Staring at our laps waiting for the battery to die
Because the avatar I built has got a better jawline
Than the man in my mirror walking every fine line
So grip my attention ‘til I choke
Reality is just a boring joke
I lost my friends and I lost my name
But we’re winning every level of this bullshit game
Look at us feeding the beast in the middle, we solve every riddle but can’t fix the brittle
Foundations we stand on, we panic and run from the man in the mirror to pose with a gun
Digital courage, you type like a killer, but look at your life, it is nothing but filler
You filter the face and you filter the skin because you are disgusted by what is within
Get a filter for the soul, dig a deeper little hole, never listen to the toll
Of the bell when it rings, we are puppets on strings, but we claim that we kings of the digital things
See a body in the street?
Better pull out the phone, record it in 4K and leave him alone
Get the views, get the clicks, get the money for the kicks
While the world is getting sick, we just looking for a fix
We are soft, we are weak, we afraid of the peak, so we hide in the valley and never will speak
To a neighbor next door, cause the neighbor is poor, and we only want people who give us some more
Validation, elation, the next generation, we love the sedation, we hate conversation
We starving for truth but we eating the lies, and we don’t see the doom in our children’s eyes
So log in and check out, the brain is a rot, you worship the self in the temple you bought
You think that you free but you tied in a knot, throw ink at the wall and then call it a plot
You sit on the throne but you left it to rot
Yeah, everyone’s a god
Fuck, everyone’s a god in here
It’s so perfect in here
Everyone’s a god in here
It’s so perfect in here
Everyone’s a god in here
So feed me the content ‘til I burst
Only two seconds satisfy the thirst
Connection is soaring
But real life is so boring
