Bite the Guiding Hand Lyrics

Why do you want to live alone
In your holding cell of a mind?
Waiting out your best years in solitude
Staring at a screen
And scrolling away
This portal of egocentricity
Which your ancestors would correctly denounce as demonic
Erodes and degrades your attention span to that of a rodent

It only matters when it happens if it happens to me
You only walk in the sunlight
I live and die in a Moonlit Rite
Endless isolation
Ritual Apprehensia
Gives me plenty of time to think

I need it
The social credit
Instantly gratifying
So very satisfyingly bleak

There are rather nefarious
And subversive atmospherics on all fronts
It affects, it manipulates, it influences and persuades you
The guiding hand that dictates
Your every thought and action
Handheld vampire elixir
I hear it calling
One must resist it
I feel it calling me

My favorite device
Open the app... check it... nothing
Check again
I need attention
Open and close the phone
Repeat
Time and time again
I need attention
Feed me attention
I want the dopamine flush

It only matters when it happens if it happens to me
Because it's only about me:
The universal centerpiece of ignorance

Post and scroll again
I need attention
Give me attention
I need the dopamine rush
