Dear Radio

My dearest radio, if you could take a little time
I hope you'll hear what I have to say
When you go misinform, spreading panic to the mass
It's our destruction you accelerate
My dearest radio, if you keep altering attention
Your depictions will externalize
We're feeling down today. It's getting harder to breathe
In this society you demonize

Please be silent
Please keep silent!

You make the day darker, my voice a little sharper
With those same old songs
The blatant wrongs
You make me feel weaker, the trail's a little steeper
When you're in my ears
Just feed my fears dear radio

My dearest radio
Heard some tunes today
That I've heard about a million times
Same repetitive vice again
With an underlying greed
In some cookie-cutter lyric lines
My dearest radio
If you keep teaching our kids
That being rich with gluttony is prime
We'll fall away again
To more incompetence a consequence of conference with the evil one

Please be silent
Please stay (Silent)

You make the day darker, my voice a little sharper
With those same old songs
The blatant wrongs
You make me feel weaker, the trail's a little steeper
When you're in my ears
Just feed my fears
Dear radio oh oh oh oh
Dear radio oh oh oh oh

My dearest radio
Have you forgotten the time
When life was more than simply play and die?
I miss the moments when
We'd feel an element of beauty
Holding truth we needn't clarify
But now we're tethered here
And we glorify change as though it's something we've not seen before
You've done your job my friend
As we forget Who's had control and fear becomes the one that we adore
That we adore

(No more!)
We're told to be terrified
(No more!)
We're told we're unsatisfied
(No more!)
Their lies have been amplified
I'd rather clear my mind than be deterred by the incursion
(No more!)
We're told we're together
(No more!)
We're told to hold anger
(No more!)
We bear the fruit of their labor
As the walls come down and we surrender to the ruin

You make the day darker, my voice a little sharper
With those same old songs
The blatant wrongs
You make me feel weaker, the trail's a little steeper
When you're in my ears
Just feed my fears
You make the pain greater, push the thorn a little deeper
With your empty words and truth unheard
To think, with you silenced, we'd tune out from the violence!
What a joy that'd be
Sincerely, me
Dear radio
