Lyrics Silversun Pickups - Connection

How in the world can I explain
When the words leap
Off from the page
Is there a way to celebrate
When I'm scared straight from
The past parades
The kids are throwing
All their charms
At the latest token victory march
With no new trails to blaze

This is not connection
It's only an impression

How in the world can I compete
When they're plugged into
The new machines
Laser focused on the screens
That will deliver them
Their self esteem
Their ears all ring in monotone
With their bodies snug
In memory foam
I can't help it
I wanna hear them scream

This is not connection
It's only an impression

Plug on in
Plug on in

This is not connection
This is not affection
It's only an impression...
