"Digital Numb" lyrics

Swing a little higher
From the rope that you hang from
Needing immediate gradification
Severed
From every human connection
Held by the throat
But you got the attention

When our bodies fade to nothing
Could you say you lived for something
Are you more than everything you show
Or do you hang from invisible rope

Swinging from the digital gallows
There's no light behind those eyes
Are we alive or just born to die

Why are we so shallow
And do we not know
We live in the shadows
Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat
We think we can fight it
But they've already won
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb

Dig a little deeper
Tell me what do you see
Another motherfucker who looks just like me
We know it isn't real
But we choose to believe
We can always unplug but they'll never let us leave

Swinging from the digital gallows
Still no light behind those eyes
Looking through an artificial disguise

Why are we so shallow
And do we not know
We live in the shadows
Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat
We think we can fight it
But they've already won
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb

They let us think that we have control
Humanity's a fantasy
Reality is virtual

We're just swinging around inside this mess we made
So busy looking at ourselves we don't see
We're the ones to blame

Why are we so shallow
And do we not know
We live in the shadows
Pretending like we aren't being hung by our throat
We think we can fight it
But they've already won
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb

Everyone that you love
Is just zeros and ones
Nothing's real until its
Close enough for you to touch
Everyone that you love
Is just zeros and ones
'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb

We're so disconnected
From what we've become
We're so fucking addicted to the digital numb
