Modern Day Blues

Verse 1
Walking down the sidewalk, heads all bowed,
Glowing screens in faces, lost in the crowd.
No one’s talking, no one sees,
Whole damn world’s down on its knees.

Chorus
Modern day zombies, staring through the glass,
Trading real life for a signal that won’t last.
Hearts gone quiet, minds on pause,
We forgot the reason, forgot the cause.

Verse 2
On the bus in the morning, silence rings,
No hello, no laugh, no human things.
Used to share stories, songs, and dreams,
Now we scroll through pixel streams.

Chorus
Modern day zombies, living in the glow,
Soul connection’s something we don’t know.
We lost the rhythm, we lost the touch,
We don’t talk, we don’t love much.

Bridge
I miss the sound of a voice in the air,
Eyes that meet and people who care.
Now the only light we chase all night,
Comes from a screen that kills our sight.

Chorus
Modern day zombies, walking through the blue,
Looking for something that used to be true.
Modern day zombies, no heart in the tone,
Together online, but dying alone.

Outro
Put down that phone, look up and see,
There’s a whole damn world meant to be free.
We’re living like ghosts, lost in the feed,
Time to wake up, and start to breathe.

Verse 1
I’ve been chasing things I’ll never find
Living in the past inside my mind
Tomorrow’s just a dream I can’t control
Yesterday’s a story getting old

Chorus
The future’s not here, the past is gone
Worrying keeps me holding on
To nothing real, it fades away
I’ll stay right here, I’ll live today

Verse 2
I’ve wasted time on what might be
Missed the truth in front of me
The sun is warm, the sky is wide
This moment’s where my life resides

Chorus
The future’s not here, the past is gone
Worrying keeps me holding on
To nothing real, it fades away
I’ll stay right here, I’ll live today

Bridge
No more fear, no more delay
All I have is now, and that’s okay

Chorus
The future’s not here, the past is gone
Worrying keeps me holding on
To nothing real, it fades away
I’ll stay right here, I’ll live today
