Ian Petch Poet Lyric

Satellite

Narcissistic waters drowning out the world
Whatever there is left is frozen and unheard
Colder as a spirit saps away the truth
Signals coming for us to take us to the moon

Conceited little wonders breaking all their promise
Wiping out the thought that helps us to be honest
Darker than the corner of our self-escape
The billion little voices that need us to betray

Selfish little people praying to be seen
Passing on an image that smiles from our TV
Brighter than the static burning our nerves
Signals coming for us to take us to the herd

Ego-education is all we’ll ever need
The power of persuasion will keep us on our feet
Further down the line where nothing will be missed
The billions that we sold are grouped on our lists

Vanity reprieving the things we wish we had
Imagining we’re better to show that we’re not sad
Darker now the moon is hiding from the sun
Brighter now the spirit is helping us to run

Ignorantly laughing until we laugh alone
The lessons we have learnt are carvings on a stone
Colder than the faces reflected by the moon
The signals have abated and space now holds the truth
