about

A song for you, a song for me, a song for our modern world.

lyrics

I fell in love with static, it's song my soothing balm
It echoes thru my spirit just like David played for Saul
But once the tune has faded and I am blind to truth
I say my prayers in binary pairs and hope I make it thru
I say my prayers in binary pairs and hope I make it thru

Avarice, my lover, have I set the world on fire?
Will you leave me bitter or burning with desire?
I've shouted down my enemies and friends I thought I knew
Then I say my prayers in binary pairs and hope I make it thru
I say my prayers in binary pairs and hope I make it thru

I'm betting on betrayal and how I'll be done wrong
I'm anxious for tomorrow and if you'll play along
So tell me that you'll soothe me when my words become a noose
As I say my prayers in binary pairs and hope I make it thru
I say my prayers in binary pairs and hope I make it thru
