That isolation that you revel in  
before long becomes a burden.
Did you forget how to act
forget how to talk
forget the feel of skin?

Did you forget
you don't know how
to connect?

How long have you been living in that empty room?
Not sure why I feel like I do, but I'm certain
it has nothing to do with you;
I'm just far from you,
far from view.

I know I'm not
don't think I'm
any better or worse than you

Screen simulation
trying not to seem such a stranger
Some lonesome human
inhuman if I'm not
trying to recover the feelings I forgot

I don't want to but I think about it all the time
What he did, how he did
the ghosts of songs left behind.
I think should stop listening,
I know I really should stop listening,
but I can't drown it out.

It'll come back around
I'll come back around

Screen simulation
trying not to seem such a stranger
Some lonesome human
inhuman if I'm not
trying to recover my feelings

Screen simulation
trying not to seem such a stranger
Some lonesome human
inhuman if I'm not
trying to recover the feelings I forgot
I forgot
