lyrics

You touch the screen and the glow surrounds you.
The light of friends and slight acquaintances.
Board Members and bored members.
Fictive kin with kinship ties.
The color of bonds
The hum of relations.

You start to talk, but it’s never right
The live person is too much like the screen
The screen is too much like the real thing.

-----
And now it's too little too late.
We're always a bit too slow.

You move fast, we hesitate.
Why are we the last to know?

You act now, and we just wait.
Is this all for show?

And now we can't escape.
We are the ones who we fear!


-----
Cats!
Cats in the background!
Cats in the drapes!
Cats by the keyboard, listening.
A scream down the block is up close
The garbage truck reverses into a pole.

Speak up!
Pipe down!
You’re too quiet.
Too loud.
You don’t understand.
Latency!
Latency!

-----
And now it's too little too late.
We're always a ​bit too slow.

You move fast, we hesitate.
Why are we the last to know?

You act now, and we just wait.
Is this all for show?

And now we can't escape.
We are the ones who we fear!
