Black box (Ode to TV) by Aaron HowardGetting Comfort at night
by the pale television light.
Groping yourself in the dark
like some pervert in the park.
Tired of moping in your euphoria
of no one left to truly mourn yah
but you still revel in your abandon.
Believing there's no one to depend on
when you happen to look and see
the pale friend in your glowing TV.
It's been there since we were open minded and young.
Where the good gets rewards and the bad get hung.
A world so tangible to the imagination.
Showing us a world of human degradation.
Curling up alone to your midnight MTV.
making a superstar fantasy your reality.
