You put the social in social media

Can't run out into the world around you It's all ashes now Can't hide from those things that confound you Our sins will consume us all Where's the finger pointing at now One flick of the hand like dominoes we all fall One by one under inspection The skeletons in our closets exposed How could she ever go out wearing those clothes?..You ever heard of self respect?..Words are weapons can't you feel those angrily typing fingers wrapping ever so tightly around your neck There's no more room to breathe in social media comment sections Losing sight of humanity Surrounded by lack of compassion, aggression and lack of empathy By day she's a math teacher, at night judge, jury and executioner We're cruel creatures we've invented a million ways to hurt someone No need for torches we got memes that will light you on fire Modern mobs The thirst for blood never expires Never ending until you've made sure someone feels as broken as you
