lyrics

Maybe the way we got back together was too rapid
Talk into the night but we sleep on a different mattress
Softly holding you between my fingers like you're fabric
Maybe I got out of the habit

Long distance feels like a marathon (you said)
Picture of me faded in your head (you said)
Want to be free as a bird
Free of my burdens of lead
With someone exciting instead
Who will dance on the ground that I fear to tread
Hurt so much
But I know what she meant

Maybe virtual affection's too hard to imagine
When you're disconnected it's like who turned off the magic?
Silent like an attic
Screaming like the traffic
Maybe it's the rain but I'm feeling kind of tragic

Is that all?
End the call
You're free to go, I'm still enthralled
to the void left by your shadow growing on my wall
Like mould it crawls and climbs
Imperceptibly over time
Took me a few months to cry
And tears take years to dry

Permanent
Not just giving you up for Lent
Not just skipping a month of rent
Have to move out of each other's heads
Changing address
Still stay chained to my desk
Till I pay my student debt
You were worth it, but I'll never forget
I was always a guest

Withdraw
I sit and draw
Breath
Into my chest, drawers, dress
I wanna cruise like a whore
Date and then fuck and then fucking ignore
Isn't that the how the cool kids get it all?
Liberated individuals
Connect to the grid just to pull
Out the plug 'cause I'm invisible

Pull out the plug 'cause I'm invisible
Pull out the plug 'cause I'm invisible
Pull out the plug 'cause I'm invisible
I'm invisible

Imagine if Sophie and Wiley both supplied genetic material to a top-secret experiment designed by the Nutty Professor Richard D. James. Which then catastrophically failed and was hushed up. I can neither confirm nor deny that I am what escaped from the test tube. ... more
