Tangent No, no, please, don’t touch me- Oh your hands are so Gentle. Don’t make me miss you Make me love you Make me care for you. No, no, please, don’t reach for my hand- Oh your touch is so real. I would rather stand in front of a Train and let its wheels Imprint themselves on my body Instead Of you on my heart. We meet at this one point in Time Our lives intersecting. I will continue on straight while you Curve away with your life in your Hands as well as my love. No, no, please, don’t let go- Oh the air is so cold. Can you stop time? No, reverse it. Make it rewind, let the tape whir and whip As I pull away and you withdraw Your steady gaze And are pushed back Back Back. Make it so I never have to know, so I will Never think about you now. I really would rather to never Have loved but You make it so hard. No, no, where are you going? Please, don’t walk away- Oh the silence is so lonely. No, no, please don’t turn your back, but don’t turn around- Oh your footsteps break my heart As life carries you away, clutching you in its Current. No, no, please, don’t disappear- Oh the isolation is so painful, Unlike your touch and your words. No, no, please, let me hold onto your memory- Oh the emptiness is so comforting.

Mathematical Tragedies: Tangent: Part 1
Tangent No, no, please, don’t touch me- Oh your hands are so Gentle. Don’t make me miss you Make me love you Make me care for you. No, no, please, don’t reach for my hand- Oh your touch is so real. I would rather stand in front of a Train and let its wheels Imprint themselves on my body Instead Of you on my heart. We meet at this one point in Time Our lives intersecting. I will continue on straight while you Curve away with your life in your Hands as well as my love. No, no, please, don’t let go- Oh the air is so cold. Can you stop time? No, reverse it. Make it rewind, let the tape whir and whip As I pull away and you withdraw Your steady gaze And are pushed back Back Back. Make it so I never have to know, so I will Never think about you now. I really would rather to never Have loved but You make it so hard. No, no, where are you going? Please, don’t walk away- Oh the silence is so lonely. No, no, please don’t turn your back, but don’t turn around- Oh your footsteps break my heart As life carries you away, clutching you in its Current. No, no, please, don’t disappear- Oh the isolation is so painful, Unlike your touch and your words. No, no, please, let me hold onto your memory- Oh the emptiness is so comforting.
