It hurts
When the feed is filled with dissonance
It hurts
When the kids just want a fighting chance
It hurts
That we're scared of them, we're scared of friends
We're ill-equipped to meet such high demands on our attention spans
Yeah, it hurts
Yeah, it hurts
It helps
When our fuel is our resilience
It helps
When the bait loses its effects
It helps
To extend a hand, to break some bread, to give a fuck, to care
To love, that you live to try this stuff again
Yeah, it helps
Yeah, it helps
It helps
To know you're there, on the other side of this digital cage
It helps
To know you're there
And I want you to know
Oh, I want you to know
Oh, I want you to know
I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere
