I know you all can hear my thoughts
running amok in empty space
all my transgressions have been caught
by your rolling magnetic tapes.
My victories hollow, my sins multiplied
set up by the wrathful child
you all laughed when I broke and cried
after my feelings tore me wild.
Your screens depict a life of sloth
as I refuse to utilize talents
cut from scorched tattered cloth
inked in blood, soaked in malice.
I know my downfall is in your script
thought I wish to defy the type
cunning lies slide through these lips
otherworldly commercials herald my hype.
I'm the only free soul on this rock
all the others plastic numbers
the answer to your game lies locked
in this iron chest that has me encumbered.
So one and all, come tune in
come closer to your flickering screen
I'll break away to your chagrin
and eat your words if you know what I mean.
