lyrics

We All Became Machines

(Aarika lead vocals)

Morning breaks on a Wednesday
And it looks to me like - we’re not friends anymore

Guess it was all the things you said
From inside of this machine
Oh, I’m not sure we’re even real
Or how I’m going to deal - with a new technology

(Chorus)
And in the meantime - we all became machines (1x)

(Aarika lead)

We used to laugh in the sunshine
Never worried ‘bout tomorrow
And then we fell into the sea - of responsibility
And we lost hold of the dream

(Chorus)
And in the meantime - we all became machines (2x)

(Chad vocals)

Well you can read it in your newsfeed - All about the people
Digging through you inbox - trying to take everything

And hate and politicians - dis-trust, dis-ease
I don’t know what I’m supposed to believe

(Aarika)
Won’t somebody please unplug this thing

This thing that’s come between us
I know that we - were meant to be - something pristine

(Chorus)
And in the meantime - we all became machines (4x)
