Doomscroller

How did I end up on my screen again?
Was it for a purpose or a happy distraction?
Can’t seem to remember what I wanted then.
Ha, then? That was like, five minutes ago!
Still I’ll swipe again, yeah you know the trend
Lacking any semblance of a clear intention
My internal mechanism won’t kick in
It’s silly to be feeling so out of control

This habit’s haunting me
My state of mind reflects what I see
All tied up, infinitely loading
Craving dopamine
The ground escapes my feet
No feelings felt if I scroll quickly
All dried up, empty cup devoid of
Personality

Just one more and then I’ll stop
Just one more and then I’ll stop
It’s a part of me inside
I can’t control, I can’t turn off
Go away, leave me alone
I don’t wanna hear my thoughts
This is all I ever wanna do
I can’t go back to

Life in color, reaching others
Can’t seem to find the courage that I used to have for
Trying new things, with no fear in failing
I’m putting all my energy and passion into

Doomscrolling, mindlessly consuming shit
Swipe away another day with no reaction
Expediting life for the thrill of it
Cus it’s fine, if I just avoid acknowledgement
So what? Maybe I’m not missing anything.
Could I even tell, if the world stopped turning?
Just look at the slop, there’s no need to think
Who knows if my brain could ever re-sync

This habit’s haunting me
My state of mind reflects what I see
All tied up, infinitely loading
Craving dopamine
The ground escapes my feet
No feelings felt if I scroll quickly
All dried up, empty cup devoid of
Personality

Just one more and then I’ll stop
Just one more and then I’ll stop
It’s a part of me inside
I can’t control, I can’t turn off
Go away, leave me alone
I don’t wanna hear my thoughts
This is all I ever wanna do
I can’t go back to

Life in color, reaching others
Can’t seem to find the courage that I used to have for
Trying new things, with no fear in failing
I’m putting all my energy and passion into

Life on a screen
Can’t tell what’s really lurking
In the machine
But still I
Swipe for feeling

Not another, not another
My mind is blank, I can’t recover
Not another, not another
My mind is blank, I can’t recover
Not another, not another
My mind is blank, I can’t recover
Not another, not another
My mind is blank, I can’t recover

Just one more and then I’ll stop
Just one more and then I’ll stop
It’s a part of me inside
I can’t control, I can’t turn off
Go away, leave me alone
I don’t wanna hear my thoughts
This is all I ever wanna do anymore!

Just one more and then I’ll stop
Just one more and then I’ll stop
It’s a part of me inside
I can’t control, I can’t turn off
Go away, leave me alone
I don’t wanna hear my thoughts
This is all I ever wanna do
I can’t go back to

Life in color, reaching others
Can’t seem to find the courage that I used to have for
Trying new things, with no fear in failing
I’m putting all my energy and passion into

Life on a screen
Can’t tell what’s really lurking

But still I
Swipe for feeling
