lyrics

There's one unread message in my inbox
And I'm too much of a coward to read it
There was a time your words
Meant everything to me, but
I don't think I'm obliged to take this

Ooh, it's the fear and the dread
Waiting here
What's been said about me this time?

Every day it's the same
I'm sick of losing this game
I've got that digital dread, dread
So throw your hate at my name
And if it sticks, I'll explain
You give me that digital dread, dread

This right here is my soul
And I'm willing to bare it
Could you honestly
Say the same about yourself?
It's not like I'm ever gonna give up
My obsession
Go take your criticism somewhere else

Ooh, it's a drain on my mind
You
You're a pain
The way you start with all the same lines

My openness
Is not weakness
But I confess
It leaves me restless
Yes

I can't work with your voice
In my head
Always twisting the things
That I said
Find somebody to bother instead
Had enough of that digital dread

Every day it's the same
I think I just lost the game...

Cmon, c'mon, c'mon give it to me now
That digital dread
Cmon, c'mon, c'mon
Gonna paint a big, fat 'X' on my head
You give me that digital dread, dread
