Where can you go to hide away from the noise of the world? How can you try to slip away from the push and the pull? Our phones will light our faces, but cyberspace cannot replace The need for human contact—our longing for the face to face The give and the take, it always crushes the plans that we make The false and the fake, it strips us bare and reveals our mistakes We tap likes for each other—but never truly know ourselves Our deepest needs stay hidden—these dusty books on lonesome shelves When you stop and you consider the time we spend on frivolous things On Instagram and Twitter— Places unreal and out of sync Our solitude is—a spotlight. In this modern age, communication’s so distant and vague We capture our lives, recording moments so they can be saved But we’ll forget emotions technology’s made us ignore Those precious chills and shivers which can never be restored When our lives are through, the ticks have passed and our time’s been consumed Our funerals too—our mortal shells have been fully entombed The headstones might be empty, for every epitaph’s the same “Lived a life devoid of contact—but on the cell phone every day.” When you stop and you consider the time we spend on frivolous things On Instagram and Twitter— Places unreal and out of sync Our solitude is—a spotlight. A numbness so familiar that it just feels like home It feels like home When you stop and you consider the time we spend on frivolous things On Instagram and Twitter— Places unreal and out of sync Our solitude is—a spotlight
