DIGITAL UTOPIA from DIGITAL UTOPIA by milkypossum

In an age ruled by nostalgia,
Could you blame me for stagnating?
Why would I move forward when I can create my own?
My very own digital utopia...

It's not escapism, I am safe, no need to call me-
Its just a way for me to take it all and
Force myself to go back to a time where
Clear chrome plastic visions ruled my mind,
And there were no worries, no not for me,
Besides picking what game to play on TV,
Got VHS, Cassette, and DVD
Lick static off the edges of my screen.

Does dwelling in the past really cause problems in the present?
Will drowning in aesthetics become my new anesthetic?
Can I get through it my way even when it gets unpleasant?
I'll bury myself in MP3s and PNG cosmetics.

Slave to a memory of promised futures,
Desperate to cry into digital sutures,
Cradle myself in a binary web,
Why play the game if we can't get ahead?

I'm always fucking lying,
I'm gonna go insane,
When will the present match the future in this fucking game?
I know I am pretending,
It's always been the same,
Seek shelter in this fucking life and I'm the one to blame.
AAAAAAH!!!

Its alright, its alright, its alright,
Its alright, its alright, I'm okay with pretending,
Shut it down, start it up, blinding lights,
And I feel so hopeful when I am spending
All my time, all my thoughts, all my actions are
Bound to the circuit boards that have formed me,
Keep it up, keep it loud, make it so
I am in so deep I don't see the warnings...
