refresh reload repeat
refresh reload refocus
i’m growing tired of all this convenience
and how these roadsign signposts mark
the years and miles down
why don’t they measure up to much?

rings around your eyes
come alive for you
don’t make me leave
‘cause i love it here
glowing glowing everywhere
anesthetize me

electric light it floats and courses all around
i can feel vibrations pulsing
i’m so plugged in i don’t need anybody else
why would i want to change?

hours on end we hide
from the life outside
recede away
inside yourself
i can’t just shut it off
but i can’t let it go

disappear into screens
what’s in the reflection?
and what is me?
i have myself to blame i’m sure
for getting stuck here in this feedback life
