Bilingual
Used to walk the streets at night, looking at a simple sky
Didn't know the shadows had a name
Ignorance was such a bliss, a sweet and ordinary kiss
Before we let the madness in the frame
Then we plugged into the feed, found a cure for every need
A digital elixir in our veins
Swiping down to find the truth, trading in our wasted youth
For a binding, heavy pair of chains
Oh, we drank the old blood from the glowing screen
It made us feel good, made us all part of the machine
Now I've got too much insight, and it's ruining my mind
I miss the days when I was flying blind!
Yeah, the internet is coursing through our heads
Turning all our neighbors into monsters in their beds
I don't wanna see the world for what it is today
Take this cursed knowledge, take it all away!
Everybody's got a voice, making such a deafening noise
Typing out their venom in the dark
Thought that we were civilized, but look into their sunken eyes
We're just hungry animals ready to bark
The algorithm promised gold, the greatest story ever told
Artificial whispers in my ear
But the more the network grows, the more the human sickness shows
And now the nightmare is the only thing that's clear!
Cause we drank the old blood from the glowing screen
It made us feel good, made us all part of the machine
Now I've got too much insight, and it's ruining my mind
I miss the days when I was flying blind!
Yeah, the internet is coursing through our heads
Turning all our neighbors into monsters in their beds
I don't wanna see the world for what it is today
Take this cursed knowledge, take it all away!"Grant us eyes" they said"grant us eyes to see"
But I don't want to look at what we've come to be
I wanna wake up from the dream!
I don't wanna hear the static scream!
Just put me back to sleep!
Cause we drank the old blood from the glowing screen
It made us feel good, made us all part of the machine
Now I've got too much insight, and it's ruining my mind
I miss the days when I was flying blind!
Yeah, the internet is coursing through our heads
Turning all our heroes into beasts within their beds
I don't wanna see the world for what it is today
Take this cursed knowledge, take it all away!
