I've heard it every other day
Tell it to me in another way
Blessedness is just a screen away

Take a picture, open up the door
But now my curtain's thrown open wide
Can I enjoy this from my own side
Or will you always now cloud my eyes
Like I wear my sunglasses at night

All the signs say please just let it be
Translated now, no trespassing
But all the commentary's otherwise
Hey let's try it, try it on for size

I believe it, I believe it all
Anchors in the pictures on the wall
I believe it till they call my name
Judges of the imitation game
Don't believe it, don't believe it all
Neurons firing all electrical
As the lies that fly across the stage
Echo back and forth until they fade

Another smile discovered in the glow
Another face that I'll never know
But right across from me, a pulse
Is beating faster cause I'm not at home

Another moment filtered, cropped, and saved
Fills a feed I can only taste
The overflowing empty bits and waves
I just scroll down another page

I believe it, I believe it all
Anchors in the pictures on the wall
I believe it till they call my name
Judges of the imitation game
Don't believe it, don't believe it all
Neurons firing all electrical
As the lies that fly across the stage
Echo back and forth until they

I know, you know
But it doesn't really help
Cause it feeds, it feeds 
It feeds a primal part of me
I know you don't
See me the individual
The clicks at stake
My data collectible 

I believe it, I believe it all
Anchors in the pictures on the wall
I believe it till they call my name
Judges of the imitation game
Don't believe it, don't believe it all
Neurons firing all electrical
As the lies that fly across the stage
Echo back and forth until they fade

I know, no, I don't
What's wrong with it anyway
I'm here, I'm now
At least I think so anyhow
White teeth, white hair
Chambray, green chair
My toes, the clouds
My baby's first words

I believe it at least so much
I believe as much as I can touch
And my friends across state lines
It's like I never really left their side
I look back three years ago
A memory that we once had known
I miss you now more than I ever have
I numb out and scroll down
