Static
I watched static spill out every screen
Spiraled eyes grasping on
Deluge of data, recess of thought
Deluge of data, recess of thought
I watched the public surround a straw swan
And feed it gasoline
Wound it and fill it with matches
Wound it and fill it with matches
They ignite and record until they’ve engulfed themselves in the static
Day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day
Spit the bad tastes to ashes
To mistake distraction for justice
When did we replace action
With unconscious affirmations?
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
Reach behind the teeth and hell
Pulling myself out of myself
(We all want something we can’t obtain)
