Everything Looks Beautiful On Video
The Epoxies Lyrics

I don't want you to touch me
Please do not physically touch me.

Don't try to help, you'll only make it worse
Please do not try to assist me, as it will not help.

Don't tell me it will be okay
Please don't try to comfort me by saying everything will be okay.

Nothing's gonna be okay
I don't think anything will turn out alright.

And anyway, it doesn't matter
It does not make a difference.

I'm going to turn my TV on
I will now switch on my television.

'Cause everything looks beautiful on video
I find everything more appealing when viewed on video than in real life.

No point in talking now
There is no reason to have a conversation.

I'm gonna have to escape by cathode ray
I will have to use the television to mentally escape.

My eyes don't see the world at all
I do not see the world as it truly is.

My ears don't hear the things you say
I do not hear what you say in the same way that you say it.

I wanna turn to light
I desire to become an entity of light.

I know that is where I belong
I know that I am meant to exist as light.

Electrify the airwaves, I'm on video
I will use the power of electricity to appear on screen.

And if you need me, switch me on
Please turn on the television if you desire my presence.

I'm always right behind the screen
I am always present on the television.

I'm beautiful forever now
My appearance will remain beautiful indefinitely.

I'm living 30 minute dreams
I am living out my dreams, albeit they are only achievable in half hour intervals.

The only place I feel at home
The only place I feel a sense of belonging.

I am your 30 minute dream
I exist solely for your entertainment for half hour intervals.

Oh, you can never touch me
It is impossible to physically touch me.

Don't even hope you'll only want too much
Please do not have any expectations or desires regarding me.

I know that you can look away
I am aware that you possess the ability to avert your gaze from me.

I know that I can keep in touch
Despite your potential disinterest, I am still able to remain in contact.

And when you dim the light
When you lower the brightness of the screen.

You know I won't be gone for long
I will return shortly.

I will live forever here on video
I will have an eternal existence on screen.

You're so cruel to ever look away
It is inhumane to look away from my presence on screen.

Somebody will love me here on video
I am convinced that someone will find love for me on screen.

Everything looks beautiful on video
I find everything more aesthetic on screen than in real life.

You're so cruel to make me look away
It is barbaric to make me mentally turn away from my home on screen.
