Obsolete and losing grip
So we dance to a brand new apocalypse
Program the prophecy
As we offer our souls to the circuitry
No faith, we'll never go back
So we scroll through the void of a blue light black
Make sure to like and subscribe
And please excuse our mess as we thank you for your sacrifice
The source code is hidden on our headstones
We both know the devil's in the downloads
And in ritualistic pageantry, it's dopamine or dignity
Survival is on a downward spiral
Log in, crash out
Immortalize our fantasies (never gonna be free, never gonna be free)
Through handheld gods we beg for mercy (never gonna be free)
Never gonna defeat the infinite scroll
We're digging for purpose in a bottomless hole
The price of attention is human connection (plus tax)
And the service fee's your soul
The source code is hidden on our headstones
We both know the devil's in the downloads
And the loss of our humanity's our algorithmic legacy
Survival is up against a downward spiral
Log in, crash out, power up, repeat
'Cause you can have it all from the comfort of your seat
Trapped inside, am I living or alive?
If this is paradise, then I'd rather fucking die
I won't bend, I won't break
I won't bow to the goddamn enemy
Subvert, delete
I won't beg for the goddamn vanity
The source code is hidden on our headstones
The blindfold is written in the macros
And I'll fight through the irony to break down the binary
Survival will override our downward spiral
Log in, crash out
