TV Lied to Me

We still talk on the weekends

We still dream when we're sleeping

I'll stay in bed for weeks and

I'll stay up if you're coming

I'll stay awake for you

I'll wait up for you

We drown sorrows in papers

We kill consequence with bottles

Walking out through the tunnels

Staring at dead strangers

We still dream all night

But we gave up at light

You remind me of a poem

One that never opened

One I couldn't understand

Left me mumbling to myself

Made me hate you then

Then turned head again

I want nothing more than the same reaction

I want nothing more than the feeling

I gave in when you asked me

To forget love and worry

Chinese takeout and movies

Forget my own identity

Lost all sense of time

Lost our goddamn minds

Put masks on in the evening

Strip them off on the bedding

We could hide away for ever

We could always be strangers

We could run away

We be be happy

I mean truly

We could be happy for once

I want nothing more than the same reaction

I want nothing more than the feeling
