The Lasting Effects Lyrics

So it's over now
And the dashboard lights tell you what to do
Go, go home and sleep
'Cause tomorrow morning you'll have to see this through
Downtime
Got all these tripwires running through my mind
Not what he needed
Past time to draw the line

Some sad joy you take in staying distant
And you're sure you're so complex
Well, tell me what's so novel about indifference
To the lasting effects

So you're older now
Gotta be less reckless in what you do
Time to tell the truth
You feel nothing despite the warmth he thinks he's dredged from you
Some days
I know it in my bones
Shouldn't have to be this way
But the gloss of history
Says foregone conclusion babe

Some sad joy you take in staying distant
And you're sure you're so complex
Well, tell me what's so novel about indifference
To the lasting effects
And it's true (true in)
In some antiquated fashion
You pare (pare)your needs, aim for dispassion
While you try so hard not to ask what happened

Some sad joy you take in staying distant (You said it best)
And you're sure you're so complex (You're not the first)
Well, tell me what's so novel (To get my worst) about indifference
To the lasting effects (To the lasting effects)
