Phosphor Burn​-​In

from Sitting At The End Of The World by JOHNNASCUS

/

lyrics

Let the screen bleed
Burn the psyche

I get it
I said i fucking get it
Reminded of my fuck ups with the flash of an image
The ghost of my memories etched into my vision
Shadow self is here to stay
Stuck inside of Plato's cave

Cathode ray is burning hot
Scorching through my moniters
Deadlier than bloody smog
I'd rather have the brain fog
Cathode ray is burning hot
Scorching through my moniters
Deadlier than smog
Rather have the brain fog

RATHER HAVE THE BRAIN FOG
Cathode ray is burning skin
Scorching through the filament
Brand the mark on the faces
Of the lost and mistaken
Scarring the mind
I don't wanna close my eyes
Or they'll be stabbed by
The blades of a thousand knives
Burn-ins cannot escape me
Only if i break the screen
Only if i break the screen

Walk outside the cave
Tattered screen shining in the heat rays
Where am I to stray
Aimlessly till the end of my days

Heaven leaks through the sky of the bitter
Presenting my body full of aching splinters
Some are real, some are draped in illusion
But what is realer than a mind in confusion
[×2]]

What is realer than a CRT stuck inside in a vat
What is realer than brain being watched back to back
What is realer than the words coming out of my mouth

I can't hide myself
This is what i am
[×4]]

Walk outside the cave
Tattered screen shining in the heat rays
Where am I to stray
Aimlessly till the end of my days

Heaven leaks through the sky of the bitter
Presenting my body full of aching splinters
Some are real, some are draped in illusion
But what is realer than a mind in confusion
[×2]]
