I lay awake
It's 4 a.m.
My eyes half open
Watching the screens again
The surging flow of imagery
The talk show hosts and celebrities

Nihilistic tendencies
Provoked by TV screens
Instill my core beliefs
On channel 53

The static screens
Keep us asleep
The static screens
Instill my beliefs

The static screens
Loop on repeat
The static screens
Preferred reality

Four days awake
Six hours slave
I'm switching channels
On repeat
I'm staring at the static screens
I never sleep but always dream

[I watch religiously]
[TV 53]

I'm watching static screens
Victim of apathy
I'm watching static screens
I never felt so free
I'm watching static screens
Incessantly repeat
I'm watching static screens
Dictate my beliefs
