Swing a little higher From the rope that you hang from Needing immediate gratification 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 Goodbye 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 it's close enough for you to touch Everyone that you love is just zeros and ones 'Cause we've become addicted to the digital numb Yeah We're so disconnected from what we've become We're so fucking addicted to the digital numb
