Just Shadows

[Verse 1]

Delivery, mouth watering

Optimized for pleasure it seems

I ****s with it not

It can’t be helped, thy police state

Fodder to a vast database

Under influence

Trash goes in green, glass goes in blue

This heart of mine’s audience to

Pesky inner voice

[Chorus 1]

Then suddenly I am alone

In the truest sense of the word

With nothing else to hear or watch

Just shadows

Like an inmate that’s finished his term

[Verse 2]

My merry way, on it I saw

Civilization rise and fall

Now you’ve gone and done

Algorithm waltz sets the pace

Indicates an authentic taste

Tell me what I love

No cleaning charge, no shipping fee

Holy and hosed off like a beast

Economic crash

[Chorus 2]

Then suddenly everything’s calm

And there’s black winter mud on your feet

And the thick net of fibers that you passed through

Are like a memory you dragged to delete

[Verse 3]

Amazon fire, twenty percent off

Global cost, vast species death

Suggested for you

Curated life agrees with me

Programmed to know when I should sleep

And when to wake up

Preferences set, authorizing

Life is not as modern as it seems

Can’t pick you who you love
