He sold the air
And turned your heads
To face the other way
The first is free
Create the need
So kids say God is great
Inside the frame
We're all the same
Humanity in chains
Are we ever wide awake?
You're not your friend
You're staying in
In case you face a storm
Call emergency
Your fingers bleed
You struggle to stay warm
Inside your eyes
The dream has died
But vanity remains
Are we ever wide awake?
We're not in control
Of whatever we're doing
The world's tearing at the seams
Don't know what it means
I miss the way
We'd just reach out
And touch existence
But these days
The rules have changed
And something's in the way
Are we ever wide awake?
He stole the scene
The whitest teeth
The world had ever seen
Control their gaze
Adjust their days
Tailored to the feed
Inside the frame
We're silhouettes
To a God without a name
Are we ever wide awake?
I miss being near you
With nothing between us
Our hands meet inside the frame
But it's not the same
There has to be some way
That we can just connect
But these days
The rules have changed
And something's in the way
Are we ever
It's not even worth it to be awake
It's not even worth it to be awake
It's not even worth it to be awake
It's not even worth it to be awake
But these days
The rules have changed
And something's in the way
Are we ever
