Prompt Box
Ancient Idols
It's the end of the world
I heard them say
Should I fall in love?
Or stay the same
I got some plastic flowers
I put 'em in a box
It's the most human thing I've been doing
It is the most human thing I've been doing
Is it the end of my life?
As I expected
The dial-tone hums
But I'm disconnected
I feed all my secrets
To a glowing machine
It's the greatest place where I've ever been seen
It's the greatest place where I've ever been seen!
And it drains me! (Drains me)
It drains me
It drains me
It drains me
I'm painting with math
And I'm talking to air
They tell me it's soulless
That nobody's there (no one cares about your thoughts)
But my plastic electronic shell
That simulates my entire hell
It's the most common place I've ever been
It's the most common place I've ever been
And I look at the ceiling
And I look at the floor
I don't think I can do
This act anymore
If I turned off the power
If I pulled out the plug
Would I finally feel
The earth give a shrug?
And if I could be
What you wanted!
If I could be
A real human!
All the time
All the time
All the time
But I'm just a pile of plastic memories
In a box of my own
With my plastic flowers
And a dead telephone
And it drains me! (Drains me)
It drains me
It drains me
It drains me
