Faerie the Kid - Telephone Lyrics

Fools once tried to lasso the sun and
Oh what a shame that it couldn't be done and
When the rope fell back to the earth
It left scorch marks in the dirt
Now the fools have fire and a burning desire
To build an empire and connect us through the wires
So they wrap the world in sunburnt ropes
And from this New Earth the Telephone rose

I fall asleep holding the Telephone
Just so that I don't have to feel alone
This plastic world makes me feel right at home
I'll live and die holding the Telephone

I forget everything I've spoke
Soon as the words leave my throat and
The Telephone feeds me lines until I choke
Then he laughs like it's a joke
Now there's wires in my veins (Oh no)
Heart is beating in morse code
Eyes reflect the electric glow
Aren't you scared we'll overload?

I fall asleep holding the Telephone
Just so that I don't have to feel alone
This plastic world makes me feel right at home
I'll live and die holding the Telephone

They call, but they don't call me
They talk but I'm just listening
They call, but they don't call me
They call, but they don't call me
They talk but I'm just listening and
They call, but they don't call me

I fall asleep holding the Telephone
Just so that I don't have to feel alone
This plastic world makes me feel right at home
I'll live and die holding the
I'll live and die

They call, but they don't call me
They talk but I'm just listening
They call, but they don't call me
They call, but they don't call me
They talk but I'm just listening
They call, but they don't call me
