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 sleep 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
