Distracted Songtext

Distracted Songtext
We fall
Helplessly, but decidedly
Into this imagery masquerading as information
We try to live our lives
While being blasted from all sides
Picking amongst the fruit
But we don′t know what it means
Look away, Look away
From all I see
Turn away, Turn away
From all I see
Look away, Look away
From all I see
Against fodder for self-destruction
As we try to occupy
The quiet space in our minds
We open the door to industry
Designed to prey on our anxiety
Counting the clicks of an endless stream
Of content pumped into our lives
Can you tell me
What's wrong with us
That we are so afraid
To be alone with ourselves
Hungry for meaning
And value in our selves
We follow the stream of imagery
Selling hopes of better things
Of better selves and better days
If we could just buy these things
Can you tell me
What′s wrong with us
That we are so afraid
To be OK with ourselves
Their selling panic on the T.V.
Anything to catch our eye
Put distrust and fear inside
Keep us on the edge of 'oh fuck'
And insanity
A mediated insanity
Can you tell me
What′s wrong with us
That we are so afraid
To be OK with it off
We gotta be ok with uncertainty
Just try
To be Ok
Just try
To be Ok
Helplessly, but decidedly
Into this imagery masquerading as information
We try to live our lives
While being blasted from all sides
Picking amongst the fruit
But we don′t know what it means
Look away, Look away
From all I see
Turn away, Turn away
From all I see
Look away, Look away
From all I see
Against fodder for self-destruction
As we try to occupy
The quiet space in our minds
We open the door to industry
Designed to prey on our anxiety
Counting the clicks of an endless stream
Of content pumped into our lives
Can you tell me
What's wrong with us
That we are so afraid
To be alone with ourselves
Hungry for meaning
And value in our selves
We follow the stream of imagery
Selling hopes of better things
Of better selves and better days
If we could just buy these things
Can you tell me
What′s wrong with us
That we are so afraid
To be OK with ourselves
Their selling panic on the T.V.
Anything to catch our eye
Put distrust and fear inside
Keep us on the edge of 'oh fuck'
And insanity
A mediated insanity
Can you tell me
What′s wrong with us
That we are so afraid
To be OK with it off
We gotta be ok with uncertainty
Just try
To be Ok
Just try
To be Ok
