Catastrophe - Birds Of Tokyo

Lately now when I’m surfing the channels

Headlines’ll terrify, more news to paralyze

Lately now it’s like some kind of panic

All there at 6 o’clock, when will it ever stop?

Murder and commentary, is this how it has to be?

Sick to the stomach now, TV’s reality

Something inside of me is saying to look away

How do you look away?

How do you look away?

Some day when we finally face the end

I hope that you live to see this poetic catastrophe

'Cause from here, it’s never felt so wrong

Lately now, I’m like some kind of medic

Upset and paranoid, out on my skin again

Lately now it’s like some kind of havoc

I need some medicine, give me some medicine

Chaos and death I see, bodies lie in the street

Thirst to be televised, never apologize

Readers don’t miss a beat, it sickens me while I eat

How do I look away?

How do I look away?

Some day when we finally face the end

I hope that you live to see this poetic catastrophe

'Cause from here, it’s never felt so wrong

Witness a descent into madness

The only escape is to erase everything

Some day when we finally face the end

I hope that you live to see this poetic catastrophe

Some day when you face your reality

I hope that the life we made was more than a fantasy

'Cause from here, it’s never felt so wrong
