lyrics

five at last
empty the trash
turn down the heat
ride the elevator
down to the craters in the street

inspirational quotes
in illegible script
on sticky notes
take your pick
but the memories are lost
you can't just turn it off
and back on again

mumbled phrases
like rats in mazes
a liquid crystal telephone nightmare
colored wires
we set on fire
force quit
love was all undone

when we started out
couldn't get enough
wrapped together like a cord and a receiver
but now when she calls me I can barely hear her through the static and such

forgot our math
froze up and flashed
and like a penny on a railroad track
we looked on terror
as one tiny error
caused a terminal crash

tangles of cords
connected to
things we can't afford
and things we miscontrued

don't read the warnings
just click 'okay'
these things are boring
full of dust and putty gray

windows were missed
keyboard, meet fist
say what you mean exactly
I can never get the gist

now I am zero
once I was one
force quit
our love was all undone

-Jeff Badger, 2011
