lyrics

These 20 digital hugs are only warming up my fingertips / sticky plaster on a sinking ship / desperation man I stink of it / so I force another fake smile for the camera / as I sink a bit / deeper into social media induced depression / I've seen it all before but still I never learn my lesson / yet this image I'm projecting is so effervescent / keep my real feelings on the inside keep 'em guessing / sometimes I want to break down and cry / in fact fuck it, I do break down and cry / and I don't even know why / It's like I wake up and my get up and go / has got up and gone / just as I was thinking we were getting along / turns out I'm really not that strong / thought I had it figured out / I must have gotten it wrong / It's like I've written all the lyrics but forgotten the song / and now I'm sat here nodding along / just singing like

CHORUS
Hey boy / what you gonna do today boy? / put down that screen and play boy / the world is outside your window / no no no / I said hey boy / what you gonna do today boy? / put down that screen and play boy / the world is outside your window / no no no

How many days is this daze gonna last? / sitting on my arse eating ice-cream mars / watching every episode of house of cards / just to keep my mind busy like an ounce of grass / how many days am I gonna stay alone? / just sitting on my own watching game of thrones / trying to find connection in my smart arse phone / when all I really wanted was a place called home / I'm pretty certain that I don't need to take their drugs for this / all I really need's bare hugs for this / friendly faces, wide open spaces and a place to rest from all of this / pessimism it's a prison I find myself in / but I'm the only guard in the whole building / it's time to plan my escape / before I waste another day in this place / that's why I'm saying

CHORUS

And I know that it's not just me / in fact I'm getting off lightly / all things considered I'm generally winning / and I'm just having a bad week / so know that it's not just you / there's more than one shade of blue / we're all just doing our best to enjoy this mess / as we struggle on through / struggle on through / as we struggle on through / ehhh

CHORUS
