Puscifer - The Algorithm

Copied!

We bend the knee
We serve the will
We venerate and genuflect to
Our God
Our fixation

We chase the high
We raze and burn
We're warriors and avatars for
Our God
The Algorithm

Attention Addiction
Dopamine Addiction

We fall in line
We lock step to
The beats we're played by our reflection
We go around in circles

Social Mediots

Doom Scroll Junkies
We're ravenous
Devour all that we are fed by
Our God
The Algorithm
Social Mediots

Attention Addiction
Dopamine Addiction

We bend the knee
We serve the will
We venerate and genuflect to
Our God
The Algorithm
