I can feel the time as it's slipping on past
Spending nights on my back scrolling iPhone apps
Till I'm old and I'm dry and I missed my chance
And I wish I hadn't let my life scroll past

I'm caught in the stream spending days on a screen
In a haze can't change this spinning machine
I'm dazed by a dream of what could be
As I'm seeing but freezing as the world careens

Count the hours even till the last
Cause they just count down and they fly by fast
I'm here in the now but despite I grasp
My internet shroud more than Time's fine sands

Can't go, you know it's non stop
Can't slow the flow till I drop
Can't get time to breathe I need these
To know some relief
If I could run from the machine
Awake from this dream
Maybe then I'll feel something real
Instead of this gilded sheen

I'm going on a roll, pedal down to full, all with every scroll
My soul unfolds, it's outta control
I flow to their mold they hold us
Told us they're just doing this for us

I'm chained to the name I became
It's made of data to make us stay just
Points on a line they use to climb to their pay day
Just to leave us behind to fade

Give 'em what they want, so that we can flaunt
Nonchalant little lives making online ties
To partake in one reply, or like,
Or ping, or heart or any part
In the fake little lives of your online ties
Who are drowning, pounding, shouting just like
You and I as we spiral by and
(Shut up at let me support the homies)

Can't go, you know it's non stop
Can't slow the flow till I drop
Can't get time to breathe I need these
To know some relief
If I could run from the machine
Awake from this dream
Maybe then I'll feel something real
Instead of this gilded sheen

One more click one more scroll
One more tap one more video
One more check one more like
One more short one more reply

One more click one more scroll
One more tap one more video
One more check one more like
One more short one more reply

What's left to do after all this noise
Surrounds our lives and takes our voice
Cause we're powerless, without a fix
Sliding quick, down a hill of poised

Figures that are sure to be
Trapped in a fantasy
Buying in to the fallacy
That through our mind we've still got a choice

Though one thing evens any land
To which even evils can't command
As they hold each mind by a strand
They cannot hold to time's fine sands

Can't go, you know it's non stop
Can't slow the flow till I drop
Can't get time to breathe I need these
To know some relief
If I could run from the machine
Awake from this dream
Maybe then I'll feel something real

Can't go, you know it's non stop
Can't slow the flow till I drop
Can't get time to breathe
To know some relief
Run from the machine
Awake from this dream
Maybe then I'll feel something real
