1. VIRTUAL LIVES

Ever stop and wonder about the world around?
The perfect imperfections and nature’s splendour?
And do you see the colours of the fading skies?
And do you hear the ocean?
Do you remember?

Crossing red lights
Pushing old ladies aside
Nothing comes between
You and your screen

The wave of make-believe
We’re the zombie nations scrolling by
Stage the scene
Hunting the ‘likes’, the fakery
Zombie nations living virtual lives

Ever stop and wonder about the games we played?
Chase and tag and hide-and-seek?
How we surrendered
The late night conversations lying face-to-face?
Sharing secrets, smiles and tears
Do you remember?

Crossing red lights
Pushing old ladies aside
Nothing comes between
You and your screen

Imagine being present now
Imagine letting go somehow
Your fear of missing out, destroys the here and now
Shut it down, look around
Just for a while

Your screen
The wave of make-believe
We’re the zombie nations scrolling by
Stage the scene
Hunting the ‘likes’, the fakery
Zombie nations living virtual lives
