Screens Lyrics

If I could take my eyes away, might not get so dry now.
If I could keep my hands away, might not get so dried out.
And when I would feel I'd know that it is real.
I'd like to stay with natural things, organic as my skin that peels.
And not so often enter in outer-space that I can never touch.
Back-lit and bite, fields in a mine, to turn it off, and to make sure
I keep it real with myself and never let obsessions with connections to an outside source
be crippling my abilities to breathe and take a step out from my usual places.
Just to make sure I keep it real with my own and never let a tendency to tread in water with no target
cripple my abilities to deal with things that scream 'be careful' Seeing screens with me behind it
No one's between what I should and why am I seeing how to do it?
(why am I seeing screens? why am I seeing screens? why am I seeing screens? why am I seeing screens?)
I feel frail whenever I'm lost in so many screens that I am seeing.
Screens appear behind my eyes.
But I feel frail whenever I'm lost in so many screens that I am seeing.
Screens appear behind my eyes.
But I feel frail whenever I'm lost in so many screens that I am seeing.
Screens appear behind my eyes.

Why am I seeing screens ? Why am I before screens?
Why am I seeing screens ? Why am I before screens?

Why am I seeing screens ? Why am I before screens?

Wrong. It's "Why am I seeing screens?"

agreed. the end has two overlapping vocals, not exactly sure what it is, but sounds like "my abilities to deal with things that scream 'be careful'. Now that I'm listening to it, these lyrics seems all wrong:

"If I could take my eyes away, might not get so dry now. If I could keep my hands away, might not get so dried out. And when I would feel I'd know that it is real. I'd like to stay with natural things, organic as my skin that peels. And not so often enter in outer-space that I can never touch. Back-lit and bite, fields in...
