Digital Prison

from Approaching by Jacob Schmelzer

lyrics

There's gotta be something more than all that I've been living for
In a digital prison, I'm a slave in the position of keeping score
All of my possessions are weighing me down to the floor
You know I've got a problem when all my riches make me poor

I want to breathe in deep and feel this air in my lungs
To know my creed, my tribe, where I belong
Don't want to waste my life in front of a TV screen
In a digital prison when I've got these analog dreams

In a digital prison I'm addicted to the rhythm and the rhyme
I spend my life in motion but I'm standing still all the time
Virtual freedom but we're slaves to our own designs
I'm screaming on the inside but no sound travels down these lines
