Blip On A Screen

Blip On A Screen

(album: Computers And Blues - 2011)

Turn on the light, so it burns in the night, we turn down the flight
The world is uncertain, I'm certained by the curtains tonight
You will not know but grow, we will not dare
We'll always smile and care and reply with your hair
We got to reverse the pattern
What's the worst that could happen?
For the first time in my adulthood
The worst that could happen
Is utterly unthinkable, sinking unsaid dread
And suddenly I'm worried about the bread under the bed
But then all sorts of awful shit seem plausible indoors
Proportions get warped in to the worst, and for certain
You're growing thumbs, I'm going numb
Tucked into your mum looks like it might be quite fun

A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be
A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be

Black and white blotches to watch and not get
And then flashes of sense along with your body and head
It is all as simple as you think when you were little
It is all as simple as me sinking a little drink
Your growing nails, mine are so nailed
I'm drinking your mother's wine for both of us today
You don't know choice but you know my voice
You should've never have chosen me, I've love like a boy
The world's so dark sometimes, the noise of the cars
Building a world full up with toys and stars

A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be
A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be

You'll dance on every song, foot fall every little move
Before you realise that every noise is not music
My dad raised these thoughts, he pastes these boards
I never knew, I just grew, that's all you can do
But then growing to an adult is just learning the language
Of explaining with words what you were as a baby
You'll leisurely learn how to lie and pretend
To service your love and rely on your friends
This could be fraught, but it's all I got taught
And I don't wanna make it up as I go along with yours

A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be
A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be
A blip on a screen, you don't know me
I think about you and what you'll grow to be

I fix and I plan, but this is just mad
I love you
You're only a hundred pixels on a scan
