telephone line

Cut the telephone line
Sever the connection
So I'm coughing up the frayed wires

Hanging by a thread
Of pretending I don't care
Got you wrapped up in the cables
Sayin' are you still there

Twisted up inside, externalize me
Copper pieces fragment our memories
Now it's all nylon, where I'm safe to be
Pray my heart of steel someday sets us free

Don't hang up the phone, I need you right
Even if the cord's almost shredded down
Easy to forget, easy to drown out
Soft like crackling glass, please enjoy the sound

Cut the telephone line
Sever the connection
So I'm coughing up the frayed wires

Think my antenna's on fire
Now I'm blowing out the signals
Of conveying desire

I'm just a screen to admire
Just a shell of a person
Acting like it's not dire
That I'm

Can you see through my facade? I just wanna be desired

Cut the telephone line
Think my antenna's on fire
I'm just a screen to admire
Can they see thru my facade
The situation is dire

Oh, I wanna be everything you are
Lest I be forgotten and replaced
Old dysfunctional disgrace
Just look at me
(Don't break the signal)
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me, like no one else exist!

I set the stage, you're the start of my vision
I became famous with endless precision
Try to upgrade me you know you'd regret it
'Cause I'm always your number one don't forget it
I render cracks on my screen superficial
You're bringing flowers to my grave, how abysmal
Tear out my heart and reduce me to tech
I'll just scream in the mic till my very last breath

Cut my telephone line
Please, stop my twisted-up mind
My stage is one of a kind
The show won't stop even if I'm robbed blind
You know you make my world bright
Just gaze upon my glistening smile
Don't brush me off but if you do I won't cry
I stay on top til the end of time!
