Feeding Time

Little numbers popping up
Life is dull, I need a shot
Dopamine for a kick-start
One’s not enough, give me more hearts
Advertising my lies
As delight for your eyes
I’m feeding off your appetite
And we’re both satisfied
Daily dose of display
No one take their eyes off me
Always got my feed in sight
In case that it is feeding time
Hungry for publicity
Portray myself explicitly
A silver plate service spam
I do it just for the gram
Your beauty standards raised by me
But you don’t know the price I paid
Scratch the surface, you will find
I’m just a million of a kind
Daily dose of display
No one take their eyes off me
Always got my feed in sight
In case that it is feeding time
An exhibit locked in behind glass
To be stared at by a faceless mass
My magnetic field you can’t deny
Still there’s less to me than meets the eye
Daily dose of display
No one take their eyes off me
Always got my feed in sight
Cause I need my
Daily dose of display
No one take their eyes off me
Always got my feed in sight
In case that it is feeding time

Shaped by eyes that follow me
Watch every move I make
To form a view on me
And pick at my mistakes
Kept in my comfort zone
Stop me from being me
There’s no escaping it
I’m trapped by my anxiety
I will just stay here in my niche
Accommodated to my needs
And when the time is right I’ll let you take a peek
I will just stay here in my niche
Accommodated to my needs
Adapted perfectly to what’s surrounding me
Thoughts are running through my head
I hope they can’t be read
Labelled as someone
I fear I might become
Unnatural habitat
For someone not your kind
A non-conformist
Thinking with a different mind
I will just stay here in my niche
Accommodated to my needs
And when the time is right I’ll let you take a peek
I will just stay here in my niche
Accommodated to my needs
Adapted perfectly to what’s surrounding me

Mass Appeal
04:06
|
|

I believe that certain things are meant to be
While some are forced and lack authenticity
As long as they like it and as long as they like me
Then I don’t mind a small bit of duplicity
I’m not gonna keep it real
For I know it has mass appeal
I’m not gonna keep it real
For I know it has mass appeal
It’s much easier to do it as they say
Instead of having to come up with your own way
Trying to be someone who they will accept
Might have self-resentment as a side effect
If you find yourself in a mass of individuals
Then be a copycat or be original
I am not the one who you think I am
But you won’t know ‘cause of your short attention span
I’m not gonna keep it real
For I know it has mass appeal
I’m not gonna keep it real
For I know it has mass appeal
The antihero that is inside you and me
Still has his share of superficiality
Roll with the punches and just play along
So that you end up somewhere you don’t belong
Now maybe I should stop being a hypocrite
But I’m afraid that I might end up liking it
Now might be the time for a mask reveal
But I’m afraid that I might lose my mass appeal
I’m not gonna keep it real
For I know it has mass appeal
I’m not gonna keep it real
For I know it has mass appeal

A Closer Moon
06:15
|
|

Living in a city underneath a starry sky
Watching all the strangers passing by, with blurry eyes
Stranger to the world outside, I’m caught up in my mind
Feeling like a blind leading the blind
Metropolic shaman praising rationality
High on information, lost my spirituality
Frozen hibernation, insubstantiality
Dreams that mirror my uncertainty
Maybe the answer’s out there somewhere
In the empty space I head to
To find closure soon
Maybe my place is out there somewhere
In the galaxy I head to
For a closer moon
Channeling an inner me I didn’t know there was
Interstellar voodoo by a supernatural force
Isolated by my self-imposed captivity
Every day I’m drifting further from reality
Maybe the answer’s out there somewhere
In the empty space I head to
To find closure soon
Maybe my place is out there somewhere
In the galaxy I head to
For a closer moon
