Stop Error Lyrics - Provincial - John K. Samson

My monitor is frozen 

In late four-something sun 

That cuts through icy patterns 

Another day's begun 

Recalling all my losses 

While trying to ignore 

The theme that keeps repeating 

From Call of Duty 4 

I tap-tap off the volume 

And stare out at the road 

Where cars and snowploughs scroll by 

A broken line of code 

From some embedded program 

That executes our town 

The river and the co-op 

This house that's falling down 

So tape over my window 

With dark green garbage bags 

Enclose my name in brackets 

Make HTML tags 

To start and end forever 

Above the wheezy breath 

Of cooling fans and hard-drives 

Beyond the screens of death
