lyrics

static noise and former joys that cover up your eyes
pray on some complacent dream to feel good all the time
take the pieces you found and arrange them on the floor
or make it clear that all your words mean nothing anymore

leave a ribbon 'round the radio
and that look across your face
the fears you left out by the field
are soon to be replaced
with thoughts that run in circles
as you pretend to sleep
at night you're blinded wide awake
they're far too bright to keep

what made his wish so empty
besides his selfish aim?
he slept all through his time and mind
he planned his life away

pick up your perscriptions
admit that you exist
sometimes you gotta give in
and see a specialist

you never spoke with sober eyes
you never could sit still
you stare out like you're taking notes
your plans go unfulfilled

sometimes he likes to join them
he comes down from the hill
finds patterns in the nonsense
forgets his own free will

signals
static voices
constellations
what could they mean?
