about

1. Radio Silence

RETURNING from a recurring dream in which OUR TOURIST suffers a final would-be fatal disconnect, we find ourselves flooded with memories. Partitions mount and software boots, thoughts blinking in like stars and forming constellations, miraculously carried by electric current and made manifest in this embodiment of spontaneous awareness, beloved product of power.

\\

Oh, but it is a work day. How will we ever find the will to get out of bed?

lyrics

I fell asleep with the television on.
I know my mind,
And how it loves to run
And I thought that I might try to nip it in the bud.

See, I was freaking out at the party downstairs.
I was speaking in tongues,
And I was pulling out my hair.
I was wailing 'bout the worst that's yet to come.

And they said:
"Maybe Radio Silence would do you some good tonight."

But I don't know why
When every time I try it, it just feels wrong
And I can't fall asleep without the television on.

So, I was half awake and I was having a dream
Fed direct to my head via satellite beam.
Oh, it feels so real, but it's too far to touch.

And when I was standing in your line
I swear it was almost like I could look you in the eye
If the back and forth would ever stop.

And I could take a seat in the silence,
It might do us some good tonight.

But I don't know why,
Or what it means that we've forgotten
How to sleep, and how to dream without the television on.

I fell asleep with a phone in my hand.
I was all alone, and I was feeling pretty bad.
It's like nothing I can do will ever be enough.

Oh, and every day I'm feeling more and more
Like I'm stuck in the stands of a spectator sport,
Like there's no point now, and there never ever was.

So, how can I spit, and how can I sing.
If I don't believe in anything?
And the television is always on, I need:

Radio Silence.
Give me Radio Silence.
I need Radio Silence.
Give me Radio

Silence.
