Frantic arthritic thumbs,

Another stitch on our mouths

With every link shared, another added to our chains

Wider coverage leads to bigger cages

Vice or device, vice or device

They’re only handcuffs redesigned

Slaves inside a dream world

A filtered existence, safe inside the hive mind

A dead eyed stare, drawn by the glow

Like a moth to flame (x2)

New gods illuminated, by artificial light

New deities ignited, by false illumination

With moral hostility, fueling their righteous fire

All glory to our new digital messiah

This is all a distraction (smoke screen)

Engage in the rage that surrounds you

We are living in an ongoing experiment

Only enslaving ourselves

We will bask in the solitary glow of our artificial light

And we will rejoice and despair

So connected and so alone
