The T.V.'s Cold Glow

The t.v.'s cold glow...
watches you...
...

Is reality gone?
Is the real?
Do words fade
With the voice they made?
...

We do what we like and get high
Well it’s heartache that crumbles the soul
Tells a man what he’s worth when his face grows too old
And we do what we like and get by all the time
...

Awkward sleep comes restlessly
Watch the flames tongue the sky endlessly
Burn the burdens in the night
Like a star,
...

And we wrap ourselves in flags
With our nation we are caressed.
In the shadow of an H bomb,
In our mind we are in love;
...

And tonight,
After the sun falls asleep,
And the moon comes out to torment me,
I will throw myself into the sky.
...

Force the smoke to the sky
As your eyes grow wide.
Spark a fire for light
But torch your mind.
...

Everything and everyone
For sale
And for a limited time only
Morality 50% off.
...

'Drown me down in awe.
Drown me down in awe.
Drown me down that's all.'
Took a hammer and chizzled
...
