Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] Six hours today and I don't remember any of it Thumb keeps moving like it's got its own agenda Face ID unlocks faster than I can think Maybe that's the point, maybe thinking is the problem Notifications say somebody liked my photo From three years ago at 2:00 AM on a Tuesday That's not creepy, that's just normal now We're all just haunting each other's archives [Pre-Chorus] And the algorithm knows me Better than my mother does [vocal builds in intensity] [Chorus] Screen time, screen time Seven hours of my life I'll never get back Screen time, screen time Watching strangers live the life I almost had [Verse 2] I turn off the notifications but I check it anyway Muscle memory's a prison with a really nice display Everybody's doing better, everybody's doing great Everybody's lying through a filter on their face My attention span is shorter than this sentence My dopamine is borrowed from a server farm The phone is just a mirror that I can't stop checking And the reflection keeps getting worse [Pre-Chorus] And the algorithm feeds me Exactly what'll keep me sick [Chorus] Screen time, screen time Seven hours of my life I'll never get back Screen time, screen time Watching strangers live the life I almost had [Bridge] Average screen time this week: Eight hours, fourteen minutes [minimal synth pulse] That's more than I slept That's more than I talked to anyone That's more than I was alive [drum fill, high energy return] [Chorus] Screen time, screen time Seven hours of my life I'll never get back Screen time, screen time Watching strangers live the life I almost had [Outro]
