We’re All So Obsessed

We’re obsessed with numbers

Every calorie and minute that inch by

Any time ever left

Every dime always spent

On any fool nearby

//

We’re obsessed with digits

The bright red always a wake up call

Always reminding us that we’re late

A pre-eviction notice for life

Why is nothing ever paid in time

//

We’re obsessed with these codes

Passwords that we always forget

Trying to scrap and save

Whatever is left of all this change

When did everything becomes such a transaction

//

We’re obsessed with these damn symbols

Telling us how well we play our lives

Double press X long hold O

Trying to get the high score of life

But you forgot to turn on the system

//

We’re so obsessed with the game

We forgot to look around, see

The power is out, the bank is empty

The fridge is bare, and the scale needs a new battery

We forgot to look around and see

//

We closed our eyes to humanity

Become a bunch of zeros in a discarded cheque book

Void of any emotion

Filled with debt

To the joy we used to feel back in sandboxes and swimming pools

Back to when there were so many water drops, that we couldn’t even count
