AURA I Am Okey: Overload

…I’m Okey
…pride and pleasure
…nothing more

Scrolling through a sea of faces
Chasing digital embraces
Every heart a little high
But the well is running dry
Double-tap to feel alive
On a pre-designed drive

Smile for the camera, filter out the ache
Post another story, dancing for the algorithm’s sake
It knows me better than my friends could ever do
I swear I’m happy – would I lie to you?

Make is stay, I’m Okey, I’m Okey
Pride and pleasure, and obey, nothing more to say

Notification dopamine
Selling what I’ve never been
Perfect life in perfect squares
No one sees the silent stares
Another reel, another role
Selling fragments of my soul

Smile for the camera, vanish all the scars
Counting up the love in tiny little stars
It knows my fears and feeds them back to me in blue
I swear I’m happy – I’m brand new

Make is stay, I’m Okey, I’m Okey
Pride and pleasure, and obey, nothing more to say

If I break the mirror, smash the screen
Could I ever come clean?
But the silence is a different kind of loud
So I hide inside the crowd
I’m Okey… I’m Okey

Make is stay, I’m Okey, I’m Okey!
Pride and pleasure, and obey, nothing more to say
Make is stay, I’m Okey, I’m Okey
Pride and pleasure, and obey
Nothing more to say

I’m Okey… nothing more… pride and pleasure… obey
