Life's Looking Glass

Looking for the lines to read between Watching as the lies fill the screen Observing pictures so obscene Static so loud it makes me want to scream I am looking for my way Searching through shadows As night falls from the day Wondering what it is I'm Suppose to say Sifting through despair Will I find my answers there? Is there a channel I can change? Or will the picture remain the same? Is there something to be said Of all these secrets locked inside my head Peering out from behind the dark Devil makes his mark Static clings inside my brain Twisting knobs driving me insane Channels change Yet the picture remains the same The screen fills up turning black Secret lies lay waiting to attack I'm afraid it's too late to turn back
