"Log Out" lyrics
(feat. Lilly Choi)
Three million out of work, that's the honest count
The news says something smaller with a softer face
I know four of them by name. One of them is me
We text about nothing. We don't say the word
The bar's so low it's underground now
Don't hurt anybody, don't commit a crime
Make it to the end without becoming news
That's it. That's the whole ambition
Log out, log out, put the whole thing down
Off the feed and the noise and the count
I'm not deleting me, I'm not going dark
Just need an hour where nobody keeps score
Every app's a leaderboard I never entered
Everybody's winning something at nine AM
I scroll until my thumb hurts and I feel worse
And then I do it again. That's the part I hate
I don't want to be a person with opinions
I don't want to be counted, ranked, or read
I want an afternoon that nobody records
I want to be offline and still exist
Log out, log out, set the whole thing down
Off the score and the shame and the count
I'm not deleting me, I'm not going dark
Just need a day where nobody keeps score
I keep thinking about a house with bad reception
A town with one road and nobody I know
Not forever. Just until I remember
What I sound like when nobody's listening
Log out, log out, put the whole thing down
Off the feed and the noise and the count
I'm still here, I'm still breathing, I'm still mine
I just need an hour where nobody keeps score
The news says something smaller with a softer face
I know four of them by name. One of them is me
We text about nothing. We don't say the word
The bar's so low it's underground now
Don't hurt anybody, don't commit a crime
Make it to the end without becoming news
That's it. That's the whole ambition
Log out, log out, put the whole thing down
Off the feed and the noise and the count
I'm not deleting me, I'm not going dark
Just need an hour where nobody keeps score
Every app's a leaderboard I never entered
Everybody's winning something at nine AM
I scroll until my thumb hurts and I feel worse
And then I do it again. That's the part I hate
I don't want to be a person with opinions
I don't want to be counted, ranked, or read
I want an afternoon that nobody records
I want to be offline and still exist
Log out, log out, set the whole thing down
Off the score and the shame and the count
I'm not deleting me, I'm not going dark
Just need a day where nobody keeps score
I keep thinking about a house with bad reception
A town with one road and nobody I know
Not forever. Just until I remember
What I sound like when nobody's listening
Log out, log out, put the whole thing down
Off the feed and the noise and the count
I'm still here, I'm still breathing, I'm still mine
I just need an hour where nobody keeps score
