>>*Static*<< ~asylem_supastar~

i flip the satallite switch on the remote control
a million times...
yet my fingers fail to reach your channel
a bunch of fuzz clouds my brain like static
on a stormy day and i try so hard to reach
inside my head to pull
just one strand
of what i am feeling out in hopes that the rest
will unravel in a pile in front of you
like that Grandma sweater you have to wear on Christmas Day
So you know that i am real
They are actors on your T.V. screen...you cannot see or touch
them or hear a tear in their voice
feel ecstatic radiance in their laughter
like you could
if you lay
for only a moment
with your head on my chest long enough to hear
my heart scream at you what my tongue cannot convey
my antenna is broken i want to gouge out the eyes of the
one who snapped it off so they know the blindness of
watching your stage
i could once intrigue a thousand critics
but that time is now gone
and words are like cameras flashing in my eyes
when they are you
saying i didn't get the part...
