Fake instances of self control can be deceiving
Casting sideways glances over my shoulder
Since you said
"Can't you see it's over? Can't you? Can't you see it's over?
'Cause since we returned to base nothing's been the same
And, and,
Can't you see we're turning? Can't you? Can't you see we're turning?
And though our hearts are burning we have lost the flame"
Flash photographs cannot compare to anything we had
Detailed betrayals of affairs
Cannot break it
Internal muscles that can tear our world apart
Do.
Checking pulses and using mirrors under noses
Glaring gulfs get bigger every time we look away
And nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
'Cause since you replaced the face it is not the same watch
And, and,
Pressure points and gauges are cracking as the dark below gives
And though we recognize it, it is not the same
Flash photographs cannot compare to anything we had
Detailed betrayals or affairs
Cannot break it
Internal muscles that can tear our world apart
Please tell me that our love was not simply flash photographs.
