(Television) set for life

creature of habit, fixated on the dreams of the masses
in a media managed metaverse your self-beliefs talismanic
fill my TV with static, interrupt the recording
cut through the boredom of an endlessly looping stuttered performance
push my buttons as always. cause my picture to freeze
hit the receiver. technicolor turns monochrome as my pixels are bleeding
flick through my features, channel surf as I drown
turn up the sound. my volumes muted, words unpronounceable
your surge gives me power. Always keeping me tested
when I need to feel a connection, what you feed me’s electric
I’ve needed your presence. turn me on, let me light up your room
find me obtrusive. cast shadows on your floordrobe in silent pursuit
I’m finely attuned to your frequency. punch in my code
AAA battery coupled remote, you have me under control
I don’t care the numbers involved, standby me forever
in times when you’re fed up us two can immerse in silence together
vibe in the emptiness the whole day through
basque in the cold grey hue of discarded old cathode ray tubes
same old same you placed on the mantle
station seems scrambled, but aint nothing really changed but the channel
neighbours look baffled. walls not only talk loudly they listen
quick to mount my position, now I can’t function without your assistance
don’t want you out of my system. bug me because now your able
leave me around your table. im the cheese to your couch potato
