lyrics

The mirror effect has changed us
It's a dog eat dog world
Digital courage to spew your hate
It's a vortex, a viscous swirl
Seeking false comfort from infected ones
Keep telling yourself you're having fun

We're texting when we drive
Children getting high
Baby's never cry
Leaders telling lies
Show your best disguise
Thing's out of control
Have two but we want four
Everythings a bore
Books sit on the shelves
Goodbye to logic and reason
As we seduce ourselves
Yeah we seduce ourselves

The self-made celebrity
Has taken over the world we know
Tell me which one is the real you
The one in person, or the one you pose?
Tell me now who are you trying to convince?
I've never seen so much human distance

We're texting when we drive
Children getting high
Baby's never cry
Leaders telling lies
Show your best disguise
Thing's out of control
Have two but we want four
Everythings a bore
Books sit on the shelves
Goodbye to logic and reason
As we seduce ourselves
Yeah we seduce ourselves

Solo

Why are we so angry?
When did we become so cold?
What used to connect friends and family
Now egos are out of control
Every smile saved in your camera roll
What ever happened to self-control?
We walk around with our heads, stuck in a hole
Only time will tell, the price of this toll

We're texting when we drive
Children getting high
Baby's never cry
Leaders telling lies
Show your best disguise
Thing's out of control
Have two but we want four
Everythings a bore
Books sit on the shelves
Goodbye to logic and reason
As we seduce ourselves
Yeah we seduce ourselves

We're texting when we drive
Children getting high
Baby's never cry
Leaders telling lies
Show your best disguise
Thing's out of control
Have two but we want four
Everythings a bore
Books sit on the shelves
Goodbye to logic and reason
As we seduce ourselves
Yeah we seduce ourselves
