lyrics

She looks asleep, staring at her screen
As lights flash to show what her life could be
He's addicted to photographs
Hypnotized by images staring back

We forgot what it's like to feel the words flow through our mind
Can't remember how to tell the truth from a lie
When it's all just pictures there's no logic to deny what your being fed

She comes alive only when she sees
The next thing to convince her it's what she needs
He's fired up when talking politics
But his heart has grown cold and he won't give an inch

We forgot what it's like to look into each other's eyes
Can't remember how to tell the truth and not a lie
When it's all just words and pictures we don't realize that we're being fed

You know it's changing us, what we're being fed

She doesn't know why he's so cold
They're so tired of feeling old
