Streets We Once Called Home

Through a screen, we are seeing
Through our fingers, we are speaking
The sun outside is blinding, burning lines into my floor
That's not the light we get to see anymore
And in this house, everything's buzzing
Never ending, keeps us running
No need to lift a finger unless it's headed for your mouth
Post some pictures of your food for friends to talk about

Some days I can only shake my head
Ring my hands and walk away
From everything that they've shoved down my throat
Climb up through the fire escape
to the roof far above cyberspace
Lie on my back and pray for rain

And take a moment to imagine the rain to flood these waters
All these roads that take us nowhere are nowhere we'll ever know
An existensial revolution
All these bodies now are flying
Above these city streets we once called home

And it's a net, that catches nothing
In our inbox out the other... box
No need to feel your feelings, you can post them on your wall
Self reflection doesn't count if noone knows about it
And ups and downs are just for loading
Don't ever dream it when you can stream it?
A world that's wide and infinite is all we ever want
But we'd have to leave the house and that's way too fucking hard!

Take a moment to imagine the rain to flood these waters
All these roads that take us nowhere are nowhere we'll ever know
An existensial revolution
All these bodies now are flying
Above these city streets we once called home
We once called home

Some days I can only shake my head
Ring my hands and walk away
From the things that they've shoved down my throat
Climb up through the fire escape
To the roof far above cyberspace
Lie on my back
And pray for rain
