Broadcast Illusion

Turn up the volume
I said, I said
It’s a beautiful day
We’re voiding our heads

In all respect I could see the end
Of a beautiful day
We’re screaming again

Again, again, again, again
We’re screaming again
Again, again, again, again
We’re screaming again

And through the volume, I said
We’ve seen enough
And on the screen, as clear as can be
It’s a colorful display
We’re screaming again

Again, again, again, again
We’re screaming again
Again, again, again, again
We’re screaming again

If it’s too hard to tell
We’ll wake up in a singular reality
The death of a nation
A toxic reaction

So scream and shout, make a whole lotta noise
Don’t be afraid, let the night run out
Well, after all, it’s a television show
A telecast promoting vertigo

A moment in time to reconcile
Came a little too late, and now it’s gone
A moment in history
Produced by the broken and thrown away

And I’m already here
For you to see, for you to see, to see you
I’ve always been here
For you to see, for you to see, to see you

That’s right
I’ve always been here
Right here
Comforting, isn’t it?

For you to see, for you to see, to see you
For you to see, for you to see, to see you

So scream and shout, make a whole lotta noise
Don’t be afraid, let the night run out
Well, after all, it’s a television show
The audience is swaying to and fro

So scream and shout, ‘cus the world’s signing off
Don’t be afraid, no, you can’t get enough
Well, after all, it’s a television show
These colorbars
Mask everyone you know

Are you enjoying yourselves so far?
Just making sure
Your happiness is my happiness
In fact
You’re quite similar to me in the end
All of you

These colorbars mask everyone you know
The audience is swaying to and fro
In a telecast promoting vertigo
For you to see, for you to see, to see you

For you to see, to see you
For you to see, to see you
For you to see, to see you
For you to see, I see you
