Remote Control

You can now go

and make your song

You can now sing

and then convince yourself

Change the Channel

"I was okay

but still felt wrong"

You can now go

And sing your song

Washed up-side

Drowned out

Drifting slowly back

Through the stream of thoughts

That stretch across these

multiple channels

Keep pushing every button

on your Remote Control

To stay calm

You can't rewind

those years behind,

From couch to Y2K

You're last to reason

why the season Finale

played out so deadly

like an epidemic

Camera fail

Now, you can't pretend

To understand

This latest episode

Now the credits roll

It's time to go

THIS IS MY REMOTE CONTROL

NOW, CHANGE THE CHANNEL

      

Sitting on this island

I have to pretend

I can switch myself

Inside the screen

And see you whenever

Got my friends beside me

If I wanna see them all

THIS IS MY REMOTE CONTROL

Flippin' into figures

beyond recognition

Stare into an endless static light,

Well I'm alone here tonight

Just pull the plug,

kill the power supply

Sing to myself, scream loud through the screen

Change the channel, feel the emptiness all again,

Can't be there to reach out to you, see your face

 It's beyond my remote control

Wake wake wake uuuuuup to the sound

of the pangolin

In news reports and sports,

On gameshow channels

No one's ever seen

Think I'll make my excuses

Climb up the green mountain,

Maybe say I'll drain the swamp

But top it up, and jump right in

Yes, I'm going back to nature

I can feel it ravel round my veins

The river runs in side of me

And pours all up in my brains

Manipulate all feeling

through the remote control

Feeding all experience

Til my head is about to explode

It's beyond my remote control
