the Price! Lyrics

I lay awake and count the sheep

My monsters eat before I sleep

And when I dream it's always

Eyes and blood and teeth

Whoa! Look out below!

You don't want to be the one to catch me

So much on my mind

That my whole body feels so fucking heavy

Too much screen-time too much need

I'm your favorite social feed

Eat me up or tell me what I mean

Twice as likely to believe in

Every story that we see

Eyes will eat it up

Become the beast that culture feeds

Cause it's me against everyone else!

It's my goals and my will against everyone else's

And I seem to be stuck in between

Who I am and what the world wants from me

Whoa! Look out below!

You don't want to be the one to catch me

So much on my mind

That my whole body feels so fucking heavy

Too much screen-time too much need

I'm your favorite social feed

Eat me up or tell me what I mean

Twice as likely to believe in

Every story that we see

Eyes will eat it up

Become the beast that culture feeds

We're exposed to so much

Let me tell you what the price is

We become our media

Subliminal devices

Cause it's us against everyone else

And nobody my age seems to be that well

So we wait it out just to see

If our generation's empathy means anything
