Story Behind The Song
A few years ago, all I was doing was watching TV so when it came time to write lyrics for this particular tune, I took inspiration from my frustration! I think the lyrics are still relevant to this today.
Song Description
It's about how addict TV can be and the frustration of wanting to see something different but in the end, it all looks the same but it still sucks you in!

Lyrics
PRIME TIME
Intro
I'm watching the TV trying every station
Looking for something to activate the night
But rerun déjà vu that's all I'm feeling
With my prime time TV heart
When Bogart plays it cool in Casablanca
Coffee keeps the midnight hour alive
But slowly all those magic lines are fading
In this prime time TV mind
Hard to break night time habit
she's just another TV addict
Hard to break night time habit
he's just another TV addict
Hard to break night time habit
we are all just TV addicts
I've had enough of soapie operettas
And superhero's that always get their man
Everything seems haunted by ghost writers
To this prime time tv fan
Intro
I've had enough of lonely knights in colour
A reality that really don't exist
It's a world of broken dreams and promises
In these prime time TV eyes
Chorus
