jonathan larson - lcd readout lyrics

Loading...

liquid crystal digital readout
floating on a sea of gray
help me fall asleep
i’m tired, it’s nearly the break of day
never stopping, always running
your characters fade into one
comforting, convenient. silently mocking us
reminding us of our mortality

liquid crystal digital readout
dividing the day away
counting slowly, measuring moments
if you could talk, what would you say?

when the one becomes the two
then the two is all there is
until it fades into the three
and the two has vanished, like the one, but

can one moment mean more than the rest?
like the moment when she kissed me?
was it real? and the others fake?
or did my heart play a dirty trick on my mind?

did elizabeth see into my soul?
was there even a soul to see?
clock on the wall, you say don’t waste the time
or the energy to find out…

liquid crystal digital readout
winking at us night and day
easy does it. there’s no point
draw no conclusions, that’s the way

there is no redemption, just perfect faces
look at the colors, enjoy the display
cast no shadow, make no impression
there is no empathy, only apathy, so

no moment means more than the rest
like that moment she held my hand
it wasn’t real. it was empty and fake
and my heart played a dirty trick on my mind
how could anyone see into my soul
’cause there isn’t a soul there to see?
anyway, i don’t have the time
nor the energy to find out

liquid crystal digital readout
laughing at us all the way
no limits, no ties, just lies. no roots, no trees
no trees…
no

there is no god, or love, just time
saying, “do what you will. nothing’s real today.”
we are fleeting numbers and images
like the liquid crystal digital readout
floating on a sea of gray
