I’m flowing - flying through the night sky
Leaving my body - I’ll wave to it goodbye

Searching for a god in this sativa joint
You would think that would make me a little less annoyed
Light the wick, burn the bridge, I'm the 17th android
Running out of battery - feeling paranoid
Im part human - and im part cyborg
I prefer the matrix like whats real life even for?
Cybernetic hell
Phones: extension of ourselves
Constant notifications: (of) course I’m overwhelmed

Eyes sewn shut, I won't wake for anything
Unless it’s my alarm clock
Fuck it - let it ring

Always tired, even in my dreams I take a nap
Yeah I’ll give an arm but I’m quick to give it right back

A lil issue becomes eternally massive
When I come across a lil problem and quickly make it tragic

I don’t know how I’ll make it through this week
But for now let’s return to my body -
I need to sleep...

Count sheep to shut my eyes
Fall asleep to feel alive
Entrapped, intertwined

Count sheep to shut my eyes
Fall asleep to feel alive
Let it be or let it bind

Count sheep to shut my eyes
Fall asleep to feel alive
Cage the bird or let it fly

Count sheep to shut my eyes
Fall asleep to feel alive
My mind keeps me up at night
