Another Way

Tapping the screen
With increasing desperation
Every sharp click
Brings a slowly sinking feeling

Scanning too fast
That’s another brain cell frying
Nothing to say
So thumbs down

And they will always be taking it back
They will always be trading the facts
We will always be taking the slack
Is there another way we go?

Sick of the rants
Type, swipe and time is racing
Back to the start
And await misinformation
Cursing the man
While he’s tracking our location
In all that we live
A malignant installation

Is taking it back
It will always be trading the facts
We will always be taking the slack
Is there another way we go
We go

And deep in the darkest hour
When’s all done
The slow fade
And droning hum

And I think about the time
Of stars across the desert
And I dream about the light

But they will
Always be taking it back
They will always be trading the facts
We will always be taking the slack
Is there another way we go?
They will always be taking it back
They will always be trading the facts
We will always be taking the slack
Is there another way we go?
