Blip On A Screen Lyrics - Computers And Blues - Streets

Turn on the light so it burns in the night 

Turned down the flight 

The world is uncertain 

I'm sittin' by the curtains tonight 

You will not know but grow 

We will not dare 

We're always smiling, care 

And play with your hair 

Got to reverse the pattern 

What's the worst that could happen? 

For the first time in my adulthood 

The worse that could happen 

Is utterly unthinkable 

Sinking unsaid dread 

Suddenly I'm worried about the bread 

Under the bed 

But then all sorts of awful shit seem plausible indoors 

Proportions get warped into the worse and for certain 

You're growing thumbs, I'm going numb 

Tutting to your mum lips 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 scents along with your body and head 

It is all as simple as you think when you are little 

It is all as simple as me sinkin' a little drink 

You're growing nails, mind is 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 shoulda never have chosen me, I've love like a boy 

The world's so dark sometimes 

The noise of the cars 

Building a world filled 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 and every sound, footfall, every little move 

Before you've realized that not every sound is music 

My dad raised these thoughts, he paced these boards 

I never knew, I just grew, that's all you can do 

And then growing into 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 want to make 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 

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
