When did words get so dangerous? Now they’re all sharp as knives Used to have conversations But now we’re just picking fights Nobody wants to listen, no We’re shooting from the hip We only like the news that fits our selfish narrative We’re losing all the middle ground Talking with our eyes closed Like all we want to hear are echoes Starting little wars on our phones Like all we want to hear are echoes On the internet Pointing out everybody’s flaws Always crying wolf Cause we’re addicted to applause Forget they’re only human Didn’t grow up like you did We’re burning all the middle ground It’s going to our heads Talking with our eyes closed Like all we want to hear are echoes Starting little wars on our phones Like all we want to hear are echoes Tell me who’s got time for civility Don’t want to think twice about what we believe Just want to start waving the flag of crucifixion Want to see them down on their knees We’re losing all the middle ground Only ever hear the sound Of all these echoes All these echoes Talking with our eyes closed Like all we want to hear are echoes Starting little wars on our phones Like all we want to hear are echoes
