lyrics

[LEX the Lexicon Artist]

Wake up in the morning first thing I do is look at you
You’re such a beauty, though with all the things you put me through
I’m still confused as to why I keep you next to me
All I really know is I’m addicted to you desperately

I lay in bed with you and stare at you for hours
If I’m feeling daring I’ll carry you to the shower
Just can’t help but turn you on at the breakfast table
You’re my next level best friend, let's forget the labels

But my attachment borders on the obsessive
See you’re the center of my world, of you I’m oddly possessive
That’s why I’m careful where I tread because I’m scared I’m gonna break you
If I left you unattended well then someone’s gonna take you

Never thought that I would be at someone’s beck and call
But I’m so terrified of sharing I’d smash you against my wall
If it meant I could have you to pieces but damn I should be ending this
I got so many apps and you're sending me mixed messages

[Coolzey]

Wait what? We had a plan and you want to throw it all away?
Break the contract that we made after all the dues been paid?
I’m all yours and I don’t know what I do
I feel used and abused
Please don’t choose to make a trade.

We’re on the verge of an upgrade
and if you stay there’s going to be rewards
Our relationship is priceless
What do you mean you can’t afford?
Remember when you broke down on the road?
I was there to guide you home. What if you were all alone?

I can’t bear to think about that or the fact that you’ll never again be
All in my ear talking, slide into your back pocket while we are walking.
If you were to just drop me on the curb you know the damage would be irreparable.
Come on, I thought we were inseparable.

I’m not just a distraction.
I’m here to help you get by and alleviate your tedium by a fraction
Please boo I need you so much.
Don’t put me down girl! I can’t live without your touch!

[LEX the Lexicon Artist]

Touch screen on, screen brightness off
You think you’re hot but your hardware is Microsoft
Got you for my problems that I thought you might solve
But I prolly should stop looking at you with the lights off

I can tell you hate it when I turn you off or put you down
to try de-escalating all the cons of keeping you around
I mute your sound but it doesn’t change my complacency
I gotta pop your sim out, 'cause you're chipping away at me

I do enjoy your services when I’m in bed with you
but then you leave me sapped of all my energy to get me through
the next morning, keeping me awake when I should go to sleep
I always keep you charged but you’re leaving me drained, so to speak

It’s clear you’re treating me as solely a transaction
Though you’re frequently my only form of social interaction
My attraction to you, is a detraction from my peace of mind
Read my mind, time to trade you in for the redesign
