lyrics

Technology is annoying me so lately I’ve been singing, in the bathroom in the dark. I can’t see my reflection; I can barely hear the television. But still that subtle off-tilt calm, it makes me nervous. I’ve got five different TV sets in my house and I know that I don’t need them, but I can’t seem to part with even one. They interrupt me when I’m talking but I just can’t stop watching. When they’re off it makes my house so fucking empty. When the screen is blank, it can pass for a mirror. When the screen stays on for too long, it burns into my eyes. Now my eyes are screens and I see what I see but I can’t change the channel. Not having control can be so frustrating. When I sleep I have these visions of all this shit I’ll never need. I still can’t help but wake up wanting all of it. When I try to talk it’s mindless banter, someone is dubbing over my voice. Now when I try to sing all that can be heard is white noise. Day to day life can be so tragic because now my skin feels just like plastic. When I turn on the light and look in the mirror, all I see is static.
