Wizard of Pause and Reflect

You shouldn’t believe
What’s on TV
So you shouldn’t believe in me
It’s a fallacy
Dark reality inside my mind
Please hit rewind
And go back to the time before your time
I’m ok with that
As long as you’re not ok with that

Hey puppet master 
Look at this disaster you’ve made out of me
I think it’s time to back down
To the underground 
No light no sound
And your darkness doesn’t have any string on me

Netflix or cable?
I don’t think I’ll be able to binge on anything
It’s cringeworthy the TVs all have eyes
And are watching everything I do
Not just me, but all of you too
So pull up a chair
Look how all those pretty people cut their hair
No privacy watching you walking around in your underwear 

Look at this disaster 
You’ve made out of us
Two realities colliding outside of anything other than trust
Suicide or bust
I must be f*cking insane 

Hey puppet master
Look at this disaster you’ve made out of me
It’s time to go back down
To the underground 
No light no sound
And your darkness doesn’t have any string on me

Hey puppet master
Here’s your godd*mn disaster 
I love you puppet master
