The irony of technology

With my computer I can travel the world
But the one I want to see
I can't communicate through
The almighty internet

With my phone I can reach to anybody
But somehow
I can't put my fingers to
Type those sweet nothings

With the electronic devices I can shorten the distance
But somehow it's not the distance that's the problem
I can't pinpoint why
But we're drifting apart

With technology it's easier and easier to see your face, hear your voice
But somehow
I can't see beyond the mask that you wear
Beyond the sound that's not your voice.
