Zombie

Looking for a thrill In a lifeless, flickering screen Wanting an escape from my reality Searching for joy in the false world of TV Finding comfort in a fictional family And at first, it was satisfying But now my soul feels like it's dying And I know I've grown even more empty Yet, I sit at my cold desk On the couch, or in my bed Swiping through the Web for an eternity I feel like a zombie Someone stop me From scrolling my life away I fell down the rabbit hole And I don't wanna stay I feel like a zombie Something's got me A slave to the screen It's blue light draws me in and hypnotizes me Will I ever break free? Same old tired trends That I know just fry my brain But for some reason on my phone, my eyes remain The clock keeps tocking by Through my fingers slips my life I look up and see I've wasted another day And at first it was entertaining But now my soul feels like it's paining I know these draining apps will never fill the gap in me Yet, I let this content fill my head Not alive merely undead Swiping through the Web for an eternity I feel like a zombie Someone stop me From scrolling my life away I fell down the rabbit hole And I don't wanna stay I feel like a zombie Something's got me A slave to the screen It's blue light draws me in and hypnotizes me Will I ever break free? I'm getting bored of forums I want so much more than faceless friends I'm sick of settling for parasocial connections Why do I act this way? I know it won't attain fulfillment I keep on scrolling Scrolling Scrolling Scrolling Scrolling Scrolling I no longer get any sense of stimulation But it's easier to look at them than fight my own demons I'm so close to it I can almost taste freedom But right as I break my trance, it seems That something's got a hold of me It's wicked glow emanating It captures my mind and weakens my will Binds and binds me 'til I'm completely Still And I become a zombie Slowly rotting Living but not alive The failure stings But I'm too numb to cry I've become a zombie These chains are on me Invisible but real What can quell this emptiness I feel I feel like a zombie Someone stop me From scrolling my life away I fell down the rabbit hole And I don't wanna stay I feel like a zombie Something's got me A slave to the screen It's blue light draws me in and hypnotizes me Will I ever break free? Will I ever break free?
