Words and Music By: Decillion

One more selfie
Then I promise to put it away
A few more 'likes'
Is all I need...
A few more snaps
More daring than before
Praise me...
Cuz I'm beautiful

The ugliness
At the end
Replaced
By a phantom
The awkward silence
That prevails
When we're up
To no good...

The endless stream
Of digital personalities
Some for real, others fake
All wanting a piece of the pie

Little moments
Reveal the hate underneath
Hollow people,
Chasing hollow dreams...

Corridors
Leading nowhere
Doors
Locked and open a like

Ecclesiastes 4:4 Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless–like chasing the wind.

Ecclesiastes 5:10 Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!

Job 15:31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return.

Psalm 119:37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your dark ways.

Grey days
Losing sleep
He came for me
In my sleep
Bargains,
By the candle light...

Sunny skies
So why am I grey inside?
Empty attention
Never satisfies

All my dreams
Turning to lead balloons
Engagement soars
As the misery begins

Chained to that stone
And turning feral
Driven crazy
By routine
Your old life
Now cleaved
Serenity
Now replaced by digital pleas
Hungry eyes
Can never get enough
Privacy, turning to dust
A prisoner
Shackled to their fate
The golden slipper
Now a terrible weight
Sleeping eyes, now start to wake
Behold, the Gate...

All that time...
That I spent in my youth,
Chasing that dream
Influencer?
What does it even mean...

Real life
Slipped through my hands
And now I can't find
The grains of sand
Precious moments
Erased

Now that I'm a big star
It's not like how I thought it would be
They don't care about me,
Only my body

An experience
Is what I provide
Rehearsed gestures
Whilst sexualized
Pick you poison
All roads lead to Hell anyways...

Our lives
Falling from dark grace

Never tomorrow,
We suffer our sins right away
Always hollow,
Are the empty victories
Soon,
The money's not enough
To hold you
All together...
Broken into pieces
Another day, rises again
