We know we know we don’t know
Everything we own we owe we don’t own
Scared to be alone alone we’ve grown cold
Tethered to our phone we roam with no home
I never wanted to complain...
All I wanted was some peace...
I just need to get away...
Feel like I just wanna scream...
Never wanted to complain, all I want is to be free
I just need to be away from my phone a bit
I could buckle any day now, I just wanna scream
I just need to be away from my phone a bit
But it’s so hard to look away from the image in the feed
I just need to be away from my phone...
Need to get up out of range where the rivers meet the trees
If think you need the same then let's go
A portal to different pane living in our pocket
That funnels shit into our brain and cannot to stop it
These subtle gimmicks are contagious, biotoxic
A sort of invisible cage made of fibre-optics
The way the mind is lost inside in this box of light
Is like a native psychotropic, seeing sights that I should not have
Life inside the pilots cockpit, I ain’t signing off
To much clutter to uncover I’m numb to the dumb data
Suddenly I’m dug in and can’t come up for air and I’m barely above par
But I’ve come far looking for some part of the sums’ part
Catching me unguarded I hunger for the substrata of loves' mask
In this uncharted land I’m traveling unarmed
The shadow is one half of the matter of one man
No narrative un-slanted, or character unmarred
It’s life without the meaning off...
I gotta go I think I'm being watched...
It's hard to know what all these people want...
Like an opal in a sea of rocks...
Look closer and you'll see my faults...
I gotta go I think I'm being watched...
It's hard to know what all these people want...
Like an opal in a sea of rocks...
Look closer and you'll see my faults...
A good book, a bag of weed, sharp pencil and a page
I just need to be away from my phone a bit
I ain’t try'na be a meme, nor a feature on your page
I just need to be away from my phone a bit
If I fail to reply please don’t take it as a diss
I just need to be away from my phone a bit
Impatient to arrive and regretting what I missed
I just need to be away from phone…
Just a place on my own where my brain can offload
All this angst and this anger that strangles me slowly
And drains me like fang on my throat, you don't know me!
We don’t speak anymore homie there’s no need
To keeping up with that bro-theme, we've both been
Drifting on unknown streams and got our own reasons
So now you only see what your phone sees
A smoke screen of photos and woke memes,
Emojis, slogans with no meaning
Still most read, into these motifs
Like “oh jeez bro that is so deep”
Well so be it, I just can’t relate to that code speak
It’s cold to me... Resent it cuz the way that it’s sold to me
As freedom when really it false beauty
Concealing the whole truth
The feeling the folds through me
When I’ve been involved too deep is
Kinda soothly yet eerie as old movies
Involuntary moodie I’m ordinary cruisy
But all it’s gets confusing when thoughts are buried in 2D
Tech is a tool but now it’s us that it’s using
If we don’t pay we’re the product and I don’t trust what it’s doing but
I know you know this shit
I know you sense something’s wrong, I know you noticed it
We all pretend that it’s not and I’m not saying I’m right,
I just feel sane when I write, it’s how I cope with it...
Never wanted to explain, all I wanted was some peace
I just need to be away from phone a bit
I could buckle any day now, I just wanna scream
I just need to be away from my phone a bit
But it’s so hard to look away from the image in the feed
I just need to be away from my phone…
Need to get up out of range where the river meets the trees
If think you need the same then let's go
Let’s go
