Digital Witness Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Get back to your seats
Get back, gnashing teeth
Ooh
I want all of your mind
People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window
Yeah
People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window
Yeah
[Chorus]
Digital witnesses
What's the point of even sleeping?
If I can't show it, you can't see me
What's the point of doing anything?
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Gimme all of it
[Chorus]

[Outro]
What's the point of even sleeping?
So I stopped sleeping, yeah, I stopped sleeping
Won't somebody sell me back to me?
