Analog

Hey Analog it's good to hear from you
You know it’s been a long long time
Would you believe me if I told you
We're still missing all those signs
This rock this sphere we live on
We've convinced ourselves is fine
Hey Analog your warmth I mess
Your retro reverb style
The sterile feel if digital you can't seal it with a kiss
And the fragile nature of live and bliss through the ether can't exist 

Do you remember conversation interaction face to face
When what you said and the way you said it
Was how we'd communicate 
Body language tone of voice tilt of head
It's in the eye
Now we can't string two words together
Let alone empathise
Progress its a relative term it depends how its 
analysed 
The hurt the pains got personal now and we do it a on line

Press play come on and run that tape
Only reel to reel is real

So the ecosystems failing and we're burning up the sky
The inevitable is happening here and that cannot be denied
Listen to the science she said come on open up your eyes
Climate talks are pointless when there's no compromise 
East v wear lets go to war and unleash that final death
Hide the truth in an algorithm so people lose the thread

So we're living in thus vaccine age
The right to protect just a phase 
Social media's got a hold on us
We keep falling for the fake
Big Brothers playing with my head
I'm being lied to duped and fed
Hey Analog can we return to the crux of what I meant
Oh give me tape come on give me tape
And get down what I just said
Oh give me tape come on give me tape
And get down what I just said

So rules get set and rules get changed 
They say for safety’s sake
But it feels just like it's Groundhog Day
Here in my personal cage
It's hard to cope it's hard to hold on 
To a mental state 
Delivery failure please try again
Error code is what they say
Happy here in lockdown with my
Conspiracy my rage
(Think on that for a second)
