lyrics

8. TERRA BYTES

In the pale half light

people tell me
dialogues the hardest thing to write



and so I try
so hard

on again and off again on credit cards



and all I got
this time

is start again and stop again and underline



The good
die young

and then we bury them in platitudes and emoticons



Don’t

rage against
the dying of the terabyte


Fight
the good fight

on again and off again all your life

Well I’m not
the same

nostalgia isn’t what it was earlier today


when there were
some quests
You couldn’t google all the answers to in retrospect



and lose
whole days 
down rabbit holes
of old cartoons stacked to autoplay

And the pale
half lives

of operating systems that are soon to die



Don’t 

rage against
the dying of the terabyte


fight
the good fight

on again and off again all your life



Well the good
die young

we bury them in platitudes and emoticons

Fight
the good fight

on again and off again into the night
