You're somehow still alive
So sit back, enjoy the ride
When my sis and I still shared a room, we kept the TV on while we fell asleep
In my own room, when the world is dead silent, I'm still staring at a screen
Then the morning comes and I'm already tired, I don't wanna go outside today
You stroll along gold sidewalks while I slip through the cracks
Flipping through the channels in my brain
Don't know how to communicate
Draw a plan to evacuate
Run and make my, my great escape
Untold stories forever on replay, VHS tapes
I'm overwhelmed and bored out my mind
Love to find someone on earth that makes this worth my time
But everybody's already gone
I'm overworked and burnt out my mind
Love to get some peace and quiet, but I'm scared to stay in time
So I will keep the TV on
I don't know if I know just what is wrong with me, a hazy vision I can't shake
Forget 3D glasses, stare at static to cope when the prescription drugs don't numb the pain
'Cause when I watch the news, it makes me so very sad remembering how small I really am
Look at the script before I say my next line
And I'm predestined to be damned
Don't know how to communicate
Draw a plan to evacuate
Run and make my, my great escape
Untold stories forever on replay, VHS tapes
I'm overwhelmed and bored out my mind
Love to find someone on earth that makes this worth my time
But everybody's already gone
I'm overworked and burnt out my mind
Love to get some peace and quiet, but I'm scared to stay in time
So I will keep the TV on
Break in transmission, intermission is my mission
Musician's ambition: no permission for volition
The coalition's condition: needs ammunition for abolition
Reposition your revolution using repetition of cognition
All the kids are on their phones 'cause they're scared that they're alone
Places where they're homegrown have bravado beasts on thrones
Spouting fortune, power, status, supremacy from their lips
The four heretic high horsemen of the apocalypse
They all worship false gods
I'm only looking for an answer to a question I can't ask
'Cause denial is a cancer that breaks up my bones and suspends my system's sages
Books full of empty pages, characters floating off the stage
I'm overwhelmed and bored out my mind
Love to find someone on earth that makes this worth my time
But everybody's already gone
(Two, three, four, five, six...)
I'm overworked and burnt out my mind
Love to get some peace and quiet, but I'm scared to stay in time
So I will keep wishing you a good night and hope I too fall asleep
But my mind won't shut the TV off
