Flypaper

(álbum: Beyond Hypothermia - 1998)

To forgive and forget, I live and regret
Grief speaks its own language
It forces me to act strong
But every time I stand up
I'm afraid I'll bump my head
Eyesight in time
Things seemed easy
Only I was building a fence
And you see in me what I once
Took action against
Sever my eyes away from
This twenty inch screen
I've finally got what is tangible
The more I learn about myself
The more I see in me to hate
Your misconception of perception
Detains all reasoning
You're this image of my fears
Armed with words that shatter my ears
I am only I but that won't do
Not for you, you're only you
Can you see what I've got?
The world is not a tube
And a brain playing games
With television knobs
Is a steady leak for attention span
Restore it sooner: unplug the unit
