"Dead Media" lyrics

"Dead Media"

I've got fake friends
In my pocket
On demand
When I want it
It makes me sad
If I'm honest
But I can't quit
Coming back

So stupid
It's pathetic
That I can't get
It out of my head
One more glance
One more comment
Then I'm logging off for good

I can't avoid it
I feel it is poisoning me
Just a cog in the culture killing machine

Break my brain
But I'll come back for more
Waste my time
And I'll waste yours
It's a fake
It's a fraud
And the con never ends
We replace who we are
With pure digital heroin

Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media
Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media

I'm an addict
I admit it
But it's how I
Make a living
Selling cheap tricks
But I got it
A few more seconds
Of your life

I'm a vampire
For your time
Everyday you waste
While I suck you dry
Like a creature
In the night
Hypnotized by the glow
Of the cell phone light

I can't avoid it
I feel it is poisoning me
Just a cog in the culture killing machine

Break my brain
But I'll come back for more
Waste my time
And I'll waste yours
It's a fake
It's a fraud
And the con never ends
We replace who we are
With pure digital heroin

Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media
Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media

It's a fake
It's a con
It's a killing machine
We replaced the old arts
With a carnival game
A swing and a miss
And we just can't quit
We replaced who we are
With pure digital heroine

Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media
Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media
Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media
Dead media
Digital heroin
It's all dead media

It's a fake
It's a con
It's a killing machine
We replaced the old arts
With a carnival game
A swing and a miss
And we just can't quit
We replaced who we are
With pure digital heroine
