"Modern Loneliness" lyrics

"Modern Loneliness"

I've been thinking about my father lately
The person that he made me
The person I've become
And I've been trying to fill all of this empty
But fuck I'm still so empty
Yeah, I could use some love

And I've been trying to find a reason to get up
Been trying to find a reason for this stuff
In my bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart
Is still so dark

Modern loneliness
We're never alone but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death
But I never call and I never text
La di da di da, yeah
You get what you give and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high but we don't know how to come down

If I could break my DNA to pieces
Rid of all my demons
If I could cleanse my soul
Then I could fill the world with all my problems
But shit that wouldn't solve them
So I'm left here alone

And I've been trying to find a reason to get up
Been trying to find a reason for this stuff
In my bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart
Is still so dark

Modern loneliness
We're never alone but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death
But I never call and I never text
La di da di da, yeah
You get what you give and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high but we don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down

Modern loneliness
We're never alone but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death
But I never call and I never text
La di da di da, yeah
You get what you give and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high but we don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down

Modern loneliness
We're never alone but always depressed, yeah
