lyrics

& you were so lovely
I didn't notice what was happening
I didn't think this would happen to me
But I wasn't happening
I wasn't anything

When the people you love aren't right under yr nose
& you're miles away and you feel a bit thrown
Surrounded by people who don't give a shit
So you watch their blank faces and cling to the bits

I've been attracted to yr inhumanity
But every conversation ends so unattractively
& we are not the beautiful couple we thought we'd be
Thoughts come in & thoughts go out
Maybe I'll never know what I'm talking about
In search of a certain elegance, will this all repeat again?

(-Yes? -I didn't know. I just learned. -Too bad...now you'll hate him, and you'll hate me too. -I don't know. -Of course you will.)

I stand right up & I say
"I see through you!"
But life just keeps going on

D̶a̶n̶t̶e̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶m̶e̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶B̶e̶.̶ ̶ ̶ ̶T̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶m̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶v̶i̶n̶d̶i̶c̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.̶ ̶
I̶'̶m̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶ y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶.̶ ̶
J̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶,̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶
̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶f̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶,̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶.̶

Turning each other off, still I kept holding on. Why? Why? Why? Why? Is it because

I've been attracted to your inhumanity
But every conversation ends so unattractively
& we are not the beautiful couple I thought we'd be
But what do I know about humanity?
Thoughts arrive so quick I wouldn't say they belong to me
Sometimes I'm human, & sometimes I'm just saying words

& I just go through the motions
Are these just lesser emotions?
But still, you tell me I'm so sensitive

& I guess I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here?

& I guess I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here?

I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here?

I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here?

(-That dream you had. -You were 50 years old, and you were happy. -And in this dream, was there anyone else? -There was. -Who? -You woke up, and smiled at someone next to you. I don't know who. -What else do you know?)

& we could shout into the void all day
But as long as I live so many miles away
Presence will be privileged
And that's all I can say
