lyrics

Modern times allow for me to see
Every detail of every change in your new scenery
Pixelated facts, I'd figure
That information travels quicker

You think your life's like a Woody Allen movie
Complete with asides to where the audiences should be

Yeah, it's been a while since we used our fingers to paint these walls
I'll wait around for you to reply as I check my screen
You laugh at me like I'm a comment you read on a bathroom stall
But I can't tell if you might've missed me

You're barely breathing

When you're dragging your feet
To the far side of town
Where you've been hanging around
Now you're wondering why the hell you've gone this far
Had you been home on time
When your heartbeat's a scream
You take one for the team
You've been begging to leave
Now you're wondering why the hell you've gone this far
Had you been home on time

I want you to say something
Why won't you just say something?

Anything that would help
The medicine doesn't help
In other words, binary codes
Expressions that would never show
Repetitions of the past
Good things seem to never last

Modern times allow for me to see...
