lyrics

The talking stopped, the penny dropped, I'm leaving
In dead air, I melt into a mood swing, so still

Our symmetry, interned in an instinct
We overshare
I hate the way we laugh it all off

But there's a brief pause at least
So far away from sentiment we stray

Then we hang up our tired, old empty gestures
And walk around
Hands clasped, disconnection
Fast twitch, full glitch

But you're a paragon of style
Did you expect me to say virtue?

But there's a brief pause at least
This parody so farcical to me

Frame this hideous glance of yourself to admire

But in the brief pause at least
We'll stay cocooned and ignore it for a while
