Lyric

Poison radio waves from a "read" receipt

Syncing with my brain waves, skip a beat

Forced login, your emotions are crossing into mine

Asking "What is love?" while I’m drifting out of line

Sinking into scrolling hell, a digital abyss

Building a nameless self from the scraps of what I miss

The "I might love you" that I typed by reflex

Is it safe or out? It’s getting so complex

Drowning in notifications, memory’s hijacked

A "me" that isn't me is keeping the ego intact

Overwriting selfies with searches for my name

Where did my true words go? It’s all a losing game

Hey, is this actually my own voice?

A chaos theory of mimicry and choice

Sentiment is the extension, .virus is the fate

Every time it rings, I vibrate at the gate

It’s not love, it’s just a conditioned reflex

An empathy bug starting to make my heart an app complex

What was love again?

A feeling that infects you in a second flat

In this world with zero antibodies, just like that

Words can turn into a loaded gun, you see

The moment I think "I miss you," I stop being me

With this sentimental virus in my veins

I’m eroding myself, breaking all the chains

Rebooting from an emotional crash and burn

The re-sending of "emo" vibes at every turn

A rhapsody of déjà vu burned into the feed

If "loneliness" is trending, is it sympathy I need?

If I tweet that I'm scared, is that an "Empathy Crime"?

Someone else's voice rings out again, just in time

Hey, is that your real voice you’re using?

Sentimental buzz-specs, so confusing

Sharing my feelings, parasitic on your pain

A simple "I get it" is a phantom kind of gain

True loneliness can’t be measured by a "read"

Error, error, error

Every time your voice mixes in with the rest

Why does it turn into noise inside my chest?

The heart that was supposed to be transparent and clear

Took on colors on the night that you were near

I prayed for "someone to give me an emotion"

And someone else’s tears reached me like an ocean

Ah, hey

Touch me, break me, scream out, stay silent

Give it back, steal it away, laugh, be violent

Even if it’s all a lie, I don’t care at all

Just know who I am, before I start to fall!

I’m done with "love" for now

I don’t care if this fever is a total lie

If I can remain inside of you, I’ll let it fly

That alone is enough for me to survive

Now that I’m infected, I’m finally alive

There’s no turning back from this digital sea

Sentiment has swallowed the world... and finally, it’s you and me

Connected through the virus
