So sentimental about tv shows
Leaving home
Fighting them off
For years
I spy on you
As if you like me watching
Drinking Russian vodka
Nothings as it seems
Married to
A travel agent
In this family
Of strangers
No connection
We only speak in code
This love
Never clean cut
Its the lie
That keeps everyone alive
Governing neighbours
Hot in this Cold War
Just remember
What we’re fighting for
If I’m found out they won’t find you
Taking orders like a waitress
Always waiting for some signal
The American Dream
Fit it all into a suitcase
I was waiting for a purpose
Tapping phones for interactions
I can never go home
Poisoning the crops
Going hungry again
Taught there’s only one way
Now doubting every word
Lying to the children
So everyone gets sleep
Stay in bed don’t move an inch
