Digital  Veil  -  The  Human  Abstract

Pull  me  from  the  gallows

of  this  fiber-optic  nation

I  cannot  compute  why

we  celebrate  this  mediocrity

Just  let  me  download  my

latest  update  right  now

Just  give  me  access  to

my  latest  opinion

Now,  now,  give  it  now

Unplug  me  from  this  fantasy

my  eyes  have  seen  the  sun

Have  we  all  become  voyeurs

covered  by  this  digital  veil

Direct  my  mind

just  keep  me  occupied

don't  let  me  find

something  that  is  worth  my  time

We  like  to  think  that  we

are  more  connected

but  the  truth  is  that  we've

never  been  more  divided

It's  just  too  awkward

I  need  my  digital  veil

Blow  the  lid  off  your  hard  drive

and  even  if  I  can't  comprehend

my  place  in  this  world

Pull  me  from  the  gallows

of  this  fiber-optic  nation
