Chained to the screen, enslaved to the phone
No need for contact, no need to leave home
Trying to live, an unwanted lie
Showing a dream, but wanting to die
Braindead, you’re dead, you died
Braindead, but never alone
Braindead, get off the phone
A shell on the screen, but nothing’s inside
A fake world out there, the real one to hide
A filter on top, to mimic the stars
Selective of truth, and hiding the scars
Blindly accept, the truth that suits you
No need to check, if that’s even true
Warriors online, a ghost on the street
You switch off your brain, ‘cause that’s what you need
