Lyrics
Our day to day is drowning in expectations
Hey, for a day we can build another wall
Now left alone, our devices grow much stronger
Go, just log out—there’s no time for talking at all
Separated, can’t be bothered
Stepchild feelings, distant fathers
Call and response, the only way we talk to each other
Call and response, divided by no use for one another
Calls, view the source and decide if it’s worthwhile
In your response, use a voice that will keep you warm
Quick, hide the self in subtext, in a persona
No deft instruction can help you sidestep the storm
Separated, can’t be bothered
Stepchild feelings, distant fathers
Call and response, the only way we talk to each other
Call and response, divided by no use for one another
Call and response, the only means to reset the system
Call and response, we only use it when there’s no one to listen
