You Know Me
[Verse 1]
We hangout remotely with pretend friends
We share these moments all alone
We strive for virtue virtually
Self-promoting these stage clothes

[Chorus 1]
We search for soul in every blue forgotten room
And they won't know us at all

[Verse 2]
Once a moment of nostalgia
Now forms a sharp repressing cast
Abstraction evolves from past lives renewed
Through change in latitude we leave behind empathy

[Chorus 2]
Darling, you know me, you know me, you know me
You know me, you know me, you know me
But I don't know you at all

[Bridge]
Fifteen minutes of fame (all day long)
Self-image we created (self-delusion)
Fingertips paint the screen, my children will have to teach me
And I won't know them at all
[Verse 3]
In solitude we long for union
In union we sell for collected change
But how will I miss you if you won't go away?

[Chorus 3]
Darling, you know me, you know me, you know me
Darling, you know me, you know me, you know me
You know me, you know me, you know me
But I don't know you at all, you at all

[Outro]
No longer intimate
No longer physical
So I don't know you at all
