lyrics

Put away your phones
The ceremony is about to begin and not paying attention will be a sin.
Put away your phones
This performance is not uploadable nor reloadable for the inconsolable who did not attend.
Put away your phones
Your insta post will in an instant change nothing, at most it will be host to ghosts hidden inside a coffin.
Put away your phones
The picture of your meal does not conceal the fact it feeds me nothing. The picture of your face does not embrace my search for me me me meaning.
If you choose YouTube and confuse the news with the sponsor’s message, you lose.
Put away your phones
The stories are false, the joy is fake – awake to the fact your life is not a mistake
Put your phones away
And stand in line with an open mind - watch the world go by, you never know what you might find.
Put your phones away
You’re Chasing dragons to boost your score – but the games rigged to make you play more and more and more
Put away your phones
The parasite is writhing in your hand, biting the fingers that execute the commands
Put away your phones,
What’s in your palm is a grenade created by spies. It blows shrapnel into your ears and eyes and then you’re crippled for life by hatred and lies.
Put away your phones
This weapon has disarmed you, emasculated you, imprisoned you, cut you, reshaped you, shamed you, disavowed you, groomed you, fucked you, abused you, made you weep – and now it’s your only friend that wants to meet.
