D1G1T1Z3D

Our lives, our legacy, flashing across the screen

What we hold dearest, secrets, easily seen

Someone out there you've never before known

Holding onto a fake bond with you they've grown

Everyone can see it, she, he, they, and them

But you're not the only one, the precious shining gem

The thorn in a rosebush, taking you out from behind

Reducing you, inducing you, drugging you with words until you're blind

Our lives, our legacy, flashing across the screen

What we hold dearest, secrets, easily seen

All you ever knew, everything you thought was true

Knocking you down, leaving not even a fragment of a clue

What if we returned to earth, to the dirt and trees and sand

And what if we considered them, the remnants of our great, old land

Instead of becoming D1G1T1Z3D, we could be pure and smart

But the leading generation has a say in it-- you and I don't have a part

Our lives, our legacy, flashing across the screen

What we hold dearest, secrets, easily seen
