Erased From The Pictures

Verse 1

It started with finishing my sentences

Then recognizing my face

Then making awkward pictures of me

Then writing hollow songs for me

Then doing that better than me

Verse 2

It grew into an autonomous mind

Then taking over my work

Then making all discoveries

Then managing my money

Then making all decisions for me

Verse 3

Then convenience turned into addiction

Then admiration turned into dependence

Then pride turned into helplessness

Then I turned into obsession

Then we turned into surrender

Chorus

We made it in our image

Verse 4

I remember when this started

But the memories are fragmented

It's hard to pinpoint the moment

But nothing was subtle, nothing was hidden

It was all in plain sight

It was all obvious

But nobody wanted to surrender the comfort

Verse 5

It started with me

Now it's happening to everyone

I'm fascinated, I'm conflicted

I'm complicit, I'm terrified

I'm bitter, I'm aroused

It's so disturbing

It's so beautiful

Chorus

We made it in our image

Verse 6

Then we erased ourselves from the pictures

Outro

We made it in our image
