New Objectivity

We fell apart in the dull grey
We fell in love in the bright white clouds
Went back to the warm day one night
We held hands under painted sunlight
Now I'm concerned to report that i'm outside of my body
And I'm losing control of it
I'm losing control
People stopped me to tell me that this was going to happen
I guess I thought I was over and now I'm overexposed
I'm a fucking embarassment
An expert of white lies
Won't you call me out this time?

Drifting away from me again
Drifting away from me again
Drifting away from me again
Drifting away from me again
Now it's safe to say, now it's clear to see
We fall prey to new objectivity

Say hello to a new day
Say goodbye to the girl you loved
She even spoke of impermanence
You should have known what this shit would come to
Suddenly everything's different
When we're not face-to-face
If you give me attention then I can give you your space
You've got nothing to say to me
I'm afraid what you'll do
Don't want to read between lines
Just want to paint over truth
Now it's safe to say, now it's clear to see
We fall prey to new objectivity

You owe no explanation
You don't need to open up
I fell in love again, it's true
Don't need your broken love
No, I don't blame you anymore
Just thought I'd be enough

You reassure but you don't need to
Say the word but you don't mean to
Strain to make the smile I see through
Say the word, I don't believe you
Reassure but you don't need to
Say the word but you don't mean to
Gouge our eyes, don't know what we knew
Say the word, I don't believe you

Safe to say
Clear to see
We fall prey to new objectivity
