"The Shallows" lyrics

Let's drink a cup of me, and revel in stupidity
Worship mediocrity, and talk about nothing
We laugh when there is no joke, smiling when we should cry
Only crying for ourselves, and princess Di

We're in the shallows, testing out the water
We're in the shallows, we don't commit to anything
When something inside us dies, we don't even notice
Trying to feel something, dipping our toes in

We don't have a history, we live for the moment
We can't talk to each other, we're too busy updating
Live in imitation, abundant limitation
Life's just around the corner, and we're dancing while we're waiting
We don't have a mother, we never had a father
We can't talk to each other, we're too busy updating
We're cold blooded lizards, in the sun we're basking
Only ever asking, how did we get here?

We're in the shallows, testing out the water
We're in the shallows, we don't commit to anything
When something inside us dies, we don't even notice
Trying to feel something, dipping our toes in

Words like genius, overused
Star and icon, both abused
Brilliant is no northern measure
Survival, national treasure
The drugs are bad, our hearts are sad

Here in the shallows, how did we get here?
Won't somebody save us? Welcome to the new life
Here in the shallows, welcome to the new life
Here in the shallows, won't somebody save us?
