Distortion

from Shallows by Joy

lyrics

There’s a nick in the ribbon
In the middle of my favorite song
And it catches, it warbles, it stutters there
Stuck like an awkward smile in an old photograph

Now the car is filling
With the far-off thunder of our thinking
The clang and the clamor
Of a thousand weird transmissions distorting

And somewhere in the static there is sweetness
And somehow we keep driving
