Falling Asleep With the TV On

Falling Asleep With the TV On

It seems we’re walking parallel - in opposite directions – discussing circles in a four walled room

Coming to conclusions – jumping - straight into the ground

You know - there’s a storm brewin’ - there’s a riot bloomin’ - there’s a lot of shit going down

There are idiots in charge - and we seem content that way

Yeah - we get to watch the TV - keeping us informed - of the soap opera - live all the time - it’s like internet conduit – networking – those spiders roaming - spinning web spun secrets of denial - of revival - of oh no - don’t touch that dial - we’ll be back after these messages

It’s endless surfin’ - in the dark - no beach - no wave - no sea gules - no sun burn - no tan line - no sand castle - no thongs - no sun block - no cooler - no radio on - no umbrella - no sail breaking sky line - no ripples - no nipples - no volley ball - no football - no Frisbee - no easy feelin’ luxury

Just the cold - just the aloneness - just the remote control and me

Watching the confusion unfold

It’s always like what Leonard said
“Everybody knows the boat is leaking - everybody knows the captain lied”

Yet they look so blankly - programmed to say nothing - in as many words as possible - their eyes crossed - their T’s dotted - got to pause

And

give commercials their time allotted - and come back and say the same thing again - and come back and say the same thing again - and come back and say the same thing again
