**disclaimer: This is not a music video - This is a lyric visualizer made up of footage from a reel I shot for the song. I figured this would be more interesting then just the static album cover with lyrics. :)
I originally started writing this song about my own addiction to social media as well as the bleak observation that most everyone in my life was also struggling with a crippling co-dependence with the infinite scroll, but as I developed the song it ended up being about so much more than that.

Lyrics:
Everybody’s fallingFor this cosmic jokeWe can’t get enough
Shove it down our throats
It shouldn't be so hard to close my eyes
I could buy a flip phone, FOMOAll my memories are synthesizedCan’t even empathize
I’m overstimulated and desensitized
I’m staring at a blue light parasite With a never ending appetiteBut I can stop at anytime
I promise that i’m in control control
Everybody’s fallingFor this cosmic joke
We’re on our knees
We’ll take it till we choke
It shouldn’t be so hard to look away
Apocalyptic train-wreck, rubberneck
They’re reversing Roe vs. WadeIgnore the heatwavesTurn up the AC in the meta-versal planeThe omnipresent deep depression, self obsession
Got to medicate the peasantsLook i’m woke, I’m self awayI promise i’m in controlcontrol
Everybody’s fallingFor this cosmic jokeWe can’t get enough
Shove it down our throats
I am in control
Everybody’s fallingFor this cosmic joke
We’re on our knees
We’ll take it till we choke
