Virtual Reality

Haunted by knowledge that I'm scraping with my fingertips
Drowning deeper in the fears that substitute for ignorance
Sincerity devolving deeper into parody and depravation
Breeding nihilism with our every iteration

I know that I can shut my eyes
But it's all the same

We're growing old in this digital sea
We're going cold with no light except the screens
It's a virtual reality

This has become a purgatory of our own design
Draining minds as the pixels slice into our eyes
We've been reaching for a holographic heaven
Blinded by the silver lining of our problematic obsession

I know that I can turn my eyes
But it's all the same

We're growing old in this digital sea
We're going cold with no light except the screens
It's a virtual reality

We're growing old in this digital sea
We're going cold with no light except the screens
It's a virtual reality

We're growing old in this digital sea (old)
We're going cold with no light except the screens (cold)
It's a virtual reality

It's a virtual reality
A virtual reality
