Oxygen Songtext
von King Liar

Our innocence has long been lost
Into the static of an electronic haze
We made
Do you feel it growing in your heart
That sinking feeling that just won′t go away
It drowns you every day
And I'm feeling broken

We hardly need oxygen anymore
My propane-fueled heart has run out its course
Your cracked self-esteem locked in a digital cage
Who cares who we are on the inside


Our real life has long been lost
Its strands uploaded day by day
It decays, decays
My restless gaze is growing weak
The pixels bring me to my knees
My secrets they
They suffocate me

We hardly need oxygen anymore
My propane-fueled heart has run out its course
Your cracked self-esteem locked in a digital cage
Who cares who we are on the inside

Why do we as a society judge our own lives
Based on the ideal persona put forward by others
Onto a platform that values vanity and pretense over everything else
I don′t think the human spirit can be condensed
Into bite-sized chunks of media that amplify the ambiguous good
While unknowingly alienating others from their own lives
We're all better than that

We hardly need oxygen anymore
My propane-fueled heart has run out its course
Your cracked self-esteem locked in a digital cage
Who cares who we are on the inside
