Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Sat at the breakfast bar

Silicon dreams creeping through the glass of my phone

Everything feels staged

The birds outside don't sound like they belong

Pre-Chorus

They swipe left for the thrill

They swipe right for the fix

Searching for the highest hill

Chorus

I used to know what is real

Now I don't even try

Caught in the wires

Living a digital lie

Feeding the hunger

Feeding the fire

Feeding the hollow inside

Post-Chorus

High on the vanity

High on the sanity

Yeah we're high

Verse 2

Artificial beauty queens

Perfect pixels carved out of thin air

Synthetic smiles

Plastic hearts hiding underneath the gold glare

Pre-Chorus

We want it all now

We want it all fast

Breaking every holy vow

Chorus

I used to know what is real

Now I don't even try

Caught in the wires

Living a digital lie

Feeding the hunger

Feeding the fire

Feeding the hollow inside

Post-Chorus

High on the vanity

High on the sanity

Yeah we're high

Bridge

Mind bent

Soul spent

Time lent

Algorithms deciding who we should be today

Rewriting the memories while we look the other way

Chorus

I used to know what is real

Now I don't even try

Caught in the wires

Living a digital lie

Feeding the hunger

Feeding the fire

Feeding the hollow inside

Post-Chorus

High on the vanity

High on the sanity

Yeah we're high
