And I’m afraid I can’t get out.
You see, it’s better being here
in my computer
because online I’m whoever I want to be.
In the real world there’s commitment
Here I can make a new account
You see I feel safer in here
trapped in my computer.
Help, I’m trapped in my computer,
and I’m afraid I can’t get out.
You see, the people here seem
so much more real than the ones
on my tv screen
It shows me so much fear
and hate, and lies, and a bit more
You see I feel safe in here
trapped in my computer.
Help, I’m trapped in my computer,
and I’m afraid I can’t get out.
It turns out this was not where I
should have been; they finally
found me out.
I am not who I pretended to be,
and they know it for truth.
You see, I am not safe in here,
stuck in my computer.
I never really was.
