Lyrics: My life is digital death My life is digital death My life is digital death My life is digital death digital death digital death digital death (2x Repeat) One one zero zero zero zero one one Digital cum shot swallow that gun Like a ricocheted roulette lost and one It's to late to face victory sums Head blast syntax grammar for chum In the bucket of a kid that spins then runs To prove some Newton rules not done and convince itself the world still turns One one zero zero zero zero one one Random access tweaked and spun On a path that clashed and melted suns To liquid drifting oceans of Typical rituals built on mums of words that turn gold bricks to slums Generate fail safe cancer lungs that four out of five rate expert drugs Live long life on wired plugs with a kill switch bit width set to hugs legislate separate us from love and weaponize terrified status quos shot of such could cause a rush of a world wide unified want through us who vilified other eyes dangerous and see that we are all but one My life is digital death My life is digital death My life is digital death My life is digital death digital death digital death digital death My life is digital death After life I will have no rest Forever in the cloud with a covered mouth Can't speak with speech only breath with text Heart beat binary subject Upload no pulse to check In the interim hear the sibilance remnant evidence of a last address it's the fossil of a puckered flesh and a kiss that meant distress for the body-less conglomerate A.I. tribe tied by circuit steps Am I alive or something less? Am I me or just a test? I feel my mind but where's the rest? is there enough to resurrect? All I'm holding on my breath Is fragments of death and your goodbyes Can I cry? (1x Repeat)

about

This track and the vocal recordings are a few years old. Construct reinvigorated the arrangement with their additional production and guitar work. I am so thankful to have collaborated with such an amazing artist and friend.

As long ago as the inception of this song was, it still manages to capture the anxiety I feel towards navigating social media and how it ties into my identity. I recently took a break from logging in and the distance from it has made it seem like an odd, surreal, and unreal alternate reality. It has pulled into question whether or not what I share in this alternate reality is genuine or if it's only in service of wanting to seem a certain way to those who know me through it. It's also made me wonder how legitimate parts of me are if I do or don't share it. I have found myself reloading my profile to check likes when I post something and I feel a sense of emptiness in doing so. To avoid this, I've had to take the app off my phone.

How unsettling this is. I had lived months without logging in and it took no time for me to fall into the same patterns. It took no time for me to trade the reality in front of me to chase an emptiness.

Thank you for listening and reading.

Infinite gratitude,
P. Cruz
