The Screen at Night
Boredom is as boredom does, working with your thumbs
Distracted from distraction by whatever comes
Anticipating something bigger, wanting more and more
Ten billion people out there, what you waiting for?
Were you doing something?
Your mind's gone astray
Now the hive is buzzing
Can't you concentrate?
We check again, we check again
If you wanna stop, tell me when
We check again, we check again
But the wait never ends
Now you feel the kick of hormone inside each neurone
Wretched expectation as you click reload
Flicker on the screen, the connection breaks
White noise of the ether, there's been some mistake
Can't stop the march of progress
Can't stop the wheel of time
Can't hide the world from wonder
Can't stop connecting minds
We check again, we check again
If you wanna stop, tell me when
We check again, we check again
But the wait never ends
Gonna sit here till I stiffen
I see the screen at night
I feel it burn my eyelids
Still I can't turn my eyes
Something's been missing lately
And I know you feel it too
The cracks in the pavement of the love that we knew
Gonna sit here till I stiffen
I see the screen at night
I feel it burn my eyelids
Still I can't turn my eyes
Something's been missing lately
And I know you feel it too
The cracks in the pavement of the love that we knew
