Static Lyrics - Novelty - Jawbox

i sunk my eyes in static 

you taught me how to see it 

now there's no sign of you at hand 

so i stop looking at it 

my head is splitting trying 

to read the name that you abandoned 

congratulations sister 

you put yourself right over 

though you don't think i understand 

this sudden awkward rupture 

this stuck-unhealing fissure 

no love could possibly withstand 

and i'd never say 

it doesn't mean that much to me 

glad anyway 

to see you struggle free 

pinned down but unexamined 

though you kept right on looking 

at static there behind my eyes 

keep pushing one-way vision 

i guess at least it's something 

since everything is so compromised
