Download

My mother disturbs my basement solitude
She asks me to go out and explore
But the whole world's on my laptop
I download the Vatican and it's a bore

I exist solely in a Facebook timeline
Envying the fake lives I wish I had
Everyone looks the same
Yet I download it all wishing for a richer dad

I'm sexting my girlfriend
And I bet she looks worse in real life
"Baby, say my (user)name"
I download the pleasure onto a drive

Every once a while I lower the blinds
Waiting for someone to call me out to play
And on the way to school, I see nothing new
It's like waiting for the sun on an overcast day

When I've had enough of this world
A dark door appears that leads inside
A room that bleeds a red light
And I download the pain I see in other's eyes
