It’s Always Happy On TV

You have your violin
you have your TV
you go to it for what you don’t get from me

I’m sorry I haven’t
returned your calls
or written back
but I am without time
and full of lack

they made it seem like it would be
always that way, always that spot
maybe it can be
maybe not

let it be alone
let it be a sigh in the dark
let it be me
who lights that spark
