Drowning in resentment on an endless doom scroll

Milton was right 
We make our own hell
You won't find salvation
In a wishing well

Drowning in resentment on an endless doom scroll
Thinking a mirage was gonna make your life whole


You weren't living a life
You were playing a role
Searching your feed
For a new heart and soul

Drowning in resentment on an endless doom scroll
Thinking a mirage was gonna make your life whole

Leaching off the shadow
Of a fancy façade
Staring into the void
And mistaking it for God

Drowning in resentment on an endless doom scroll
Thinking a mirage was gonna make your life whole
