Overthinker

Im up late at night

Staring at these ****ing Pixels

thinking what's it in this life that picks you

to be so successful cause it's all I see

Seeing another's dreams on my screen

Wondering what does this all mean

Is it encouragement for me

To see where I could be So constantly staring at lights so bright

But I gotta wonder

Do they enhance or blur my sight

All these ones and zeros are too much

Cause I've become numb to my heroes

and im still tripping

I know more people than ever But still so distant

Spend every day reminiscent on the past

While the present is already going so fast

Cause the only depth I get

Is if I've met them in person

Cause online

I know im a different version

So connected but amongst separate sections

Affection though texting just isn't the same

These Letters and emojis only hold me so long

Sometimes it just aint enough

Im in need of some real love

Yeah

Yo it's a damn shame that

these handshakes and clicks of champagne

Just aint the same through a whitened frame

Just screenshots of a perfect moment

Knowing it's a set up

Smiling for the better

No showing those pain behind them eyes

So I never truly know someone's life

and we only see it Though a flash of light

these Timelines are filled with fine lines

And im needing dnms

Only way that im making sense

Is Showing real emotion

Cause what's more effort

Replying to a text and that's it

Or understanding what's happening and

travelling to their spot so they know that you got em

Cause it's easy to get lost in this mess of stress

When it gets the best of you

As media writes this new chapter of history

Its crashing though the atmosphere

And When it lands

At least there'll still be evidence

At least there'll still be evidence

Of what happened here

Cause every minute that we living

Is A constant clicking of the pictures

Low key wishing for the riches

Wishing we were switching damn near everything

just to be different in an instant

Im sickened of how we are living this

The dream is just to ditch it all

say **** the digital age

cause its aging this mind state

at a rate that I may not appreciate

the Constant poising for the shot is poison

That's the weight

that the gram has on your mind state

If I got pain buying shit won't solve a thing

My tear realistic as it is dripping down my face

Putting distance between us to kill all ma tears yes

Scrolling through my news feed so loosely

It is soothing me

Tuning in and out

Cause

every post that shows is so depressing

I know life is a blessing

But im being desensitised

Cause every time I find the time to read a line

Its outrage this and outrage that

People dying here and dying there man **** that

real question

Like do you remember what happened last week

Cause the shit is past me

And I guess it's partly because the flaws of humans

That's too involved with how the world is viewing yall

Social media has made us greedier

As we see the bar raised

Doing wild shit for the praise

Growing softer cause we can't handle the hate

And every trend that I see fade

Is just an ode to the ol saying

The only constant is changing

But its rearranging so quickly I can't keep up

Its constantly going and it aint slowing down

For all the shit that happens now every day

It's all the same

Like Shock me there's another shooting in the US

Shock me Russia's doing shady shit with Putin

Shock me and the other thousand things

I don't know about, were ****in clueless

We in the age of the internet

It's in effect

Your life's been a wreck

just depends how much the world has seen of it

We have everything in the palm of our hands

And people stand for opinion over fact

**** that,

Still wanna be ignorant and spin the shit

To fit the bit of your story

That proves it right

Nah im done with that shit

I've lost the plot

This has got to stop

But it's not the ****ing end

We're off the deep end at this point
