Off the TV

Is this the way out for you?
I think we have a needle eye we can pull you through
All this static breeds mediocrity, yeah
It feels like maybe we're just starting to see

Take your eyes off the TV
Take your eyes off the TV, yeah
Take your eyes off the TV

Giving into tendencies for noise
I realize this shakes the system
Taking away their toys

I'm desensitized from holding on so tight
To this tired cliche
Can't sympathize

Just take your eyes off the TV
Just take your eyes off the TV, yeah
Take your eyes off the TV, yeah

So... Now what's it gonna be?
There's someone in an office
Who decides what we see
All things considered
By the time that you could read about it
Yeah, someone's put a spin around it

Though you try your best in letting go
They smile the words, keep you in the flow
And drooling wide-eyed on the floor as you beg

This dog, someday, will have your leg

Something's coming
That Face in the crowd
The sky is falling can you taste the clouds?
Patience is for those with nothing else

I'll look behind my eyes for you
Travel outside perception too
To places without names that don't yet exist
We'll write down all new words
Describing what they missed

Yeah, just take your eyes off the TV
Yeah, take your eyes off the TV
Just take your eyes off the TV
Just take your eyes off the TV

Take take take

Despite the words that keep you in the flow
Despite the words that keep you in the flow
Despite the words that keep you in the flow
Despite the words of the TV
Despite the words
