Lyrics
Verse 1
Dog on a leash, Tied to the beat
And each new piece leaves you hungry
But you gotta know every post to some stratosphere.
Craning your neck, lack of respect
Your presence is a present that I never get
What's it gonna take for you to put that goddamn thing down?
Chorus:
Your attention, Your attention is not right here
Verse 2
Looking down, I've never found
Anything of value that won't be around
When the moment passes, you'll see that your glass is empty now
Addicted to knowledge that's new
Most of which has nothing to do with you
It's an evil spin, sucking you in
away from the now
Chorus:
And your attention, your attention is not right here
Your attention, your attention is not right here.
Bridge:
Your attention please, Can I have your attention please, your attention please.
Verse 3
Spinning around on some holy ground
that you never walked on
that you've never found
Somewhere else, anywhere else but here
And I can't understand what we hold in our hand
is making us a little less than human
Can I interject, can you disconnect?
Chorus:
And your attention, your attention is not right here
Your attention, your attention is not right here.
