Lyrics for Just Shadows
Delivery, mouth watering Optimized for pleasure it seems I fucks with it not It can't be helped, thy police state Fodder to a vast database Under influence Trash goes in green, glass goes in blue This heart of mine's audience to Pesky inner voice Then suddenly I am alone In the truest sense of the word With nothing else to hear or watch, just shadows Like an inmate that's finished his term My merry way, on it I saw Civilization rise and fall Now you've gone and done Algorithm waltz sets the pace Indicates an authentic taste Tell me what I love No cleaning charge, no shipping fee Holy and hosed off like a beast Economic crash Then suddenly everything's calm And there's black winter mud on your feet And the thick net of fibers that you passed through Are like a memory you dragged to delete Amazon fire, twenty percent off Global cost, vast species death Suggested for you Curated life agrees with me Programmed to know when I should sleep And when to wake up Preferences set, authorizing Life's not as modern as it seems Can't pick you who you love
