Dear World

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yes, everyone seems to be asleep

Hey look, you didn't even know this

Couldn't even tell

Just when it started happening

Maybe just as well

After all, everything is getting unfamiliar now

Trajectory in decline

And we've become obselete

A frame at a time

I'm locked inside here

Have to stay

With people who aren't here

All the way

Pictures and faces

On display

With people who aren't here

All the way (all the way)

All the way (all the way)

All the way (all the way)

It is coming, and you didn't even notice

Yeah you didn't even notice (you were missing)

(Left channel)

Dear world, I can hardly recognise you anymore

And yet I remain certain

There is an answer in you

I feel like I have lived so long sometimes

Run out of things to try to do

I can't concentrate my way out

What about?

I have been entirely patient

No, no, not this time

(Right channel)

I am leaving because I can't recognise who I have been

You go on spoiling

Hey look, it's happening

Without me you didn't even notice

Of course it's been happening all along

Permanent intervals as you become obsolete, who are you?

Oh this place

I can't concentrate

I begin to go through another of that we have been

But I know I can't trust myself with this again

I'm locked inside here

Have to stay

With people who aren't here

All the way

Pictures and faces

On display

With people who aren't here

All the way (all the way)

All the way (all the way)

All the way (all the way)

Yes, everyone seems to be asleep
