Description: "This songs speaks to how easy it is to hide from reality. I went through several harsh years after losing my baby. My health declined, and in turn I went into deep depression. I could open my computer and write clever status updates, post outdated pictures, and pretend my life was going great--while at the same time I was crying in bed, alone, with my blinds closed. Looking back, I feel that I robbed myself of being loved during the worst time of my life. Social media can’t touch you. It can’t look you in the eye and say, “How are you doing?” Your “friends” on the other end of the status line don’t have to look at your reality. They only have to look at the “reality” you chose to portray."

Lyrics: AGAINST A WALL VERSE ONE I've been staring at a screen all night Pressing buttons just to feel alive Plug me in feed the status line Every thought I have is edited In the hopes that you'll remember it To be relevant's irrelevant PRE-CHORUS All my friends They don't realize (low) Im in my bed Only half alive (low) CHORUS I'm not dead I'm just looking at you Feel my pulse Feel a touch of truth Against a wall I can't breath Something real is what I need I'm not dead I'm just looking at you VERSE TWO All our pictures are just silhouettes We have filtered all our blemishes I'm addicted to the quick fix Can we get away with anything Say our worst and never see the pain It's a war of words and no one wins PRE-CHORUS All my friends They don't realize I'm in my bed Only half alive BRIDGE Every like steals a year of my life Makes my room feel so lonely tonight But I'm not dead
