lyrics

Slaves to glowing devices
I'm discontented
by their disconnectment

I see the sheen from the screen illuminate on their faces
they're so complacent
their minds are vacant

I'm sorry to say that the good days are gone
but I'm happy to note that we're moving along

My memory's fine, but it might not for long
reflect on the times before it is gone

Dismember the age that we honored with patience
we're insatiable patients
ready for more medications

Recalling the times all those letters you sent to me
so nice that we'll save a tree
now that paper is obsolete

Just do me a favor and answer my call
the human voice is kinda warm after all

My memory's fine, but it might not for long
reflect on the times before it is gone

All these things that we used to live without
I never understand the terms you throw around
Spending time together, living without sound.

Slaves to glowing devices
I'm discontented
by their disconnectment

Increasing demands and high prices
burned out by the fuse
that empowers resentment

I'm sorry to say that the good days are gone
but I'm happy to note that we're moving along

My memory's fine, but it might not for long
reflect on the times before it is gone
