message from drafty demo by ben collins

am i being cruel or am i right to feel invaded
by this stranger who only knows what my name is
digital nudge, no nothing of substance
what's the point of sending a message?

maybe he's like me
maybe he's mean
maybe i'm the man of his dreams
maybe he should come clean

is it prudent to respond, more kind to act belated
no words bar a greeting, my head fills up the spaces
this is the modern age
all men need to gratificate

he says almost, almost nothing
so i say nothing back [back back]
i'm not stupid, i'm prepared
i don't fall for this kind of stupid people trap

maybe he is like me
or maybe he's one of a kind
if he filled the empty spaces with words with meaning
i could pretend i agree for the sake of appeasing

am i being cruel or am i right to feel invaded
by this stranger who only knows what my name is
well this is the modern age
and all men need to gratificate
