Sad TV
Mind Shrine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lay home all day in bed and
Hope that you can still breathe
And everyone is having fun while you sleep
Then stare at the sad television screen
And you′ll see
The sad television screen
And you'll see

When will I get out of here
And when will I get ahead from

The sad television screen
The sad television screen
