i don t believe in you when i m not looking you re not there

The Magnetic Fields

so you quote love unquote me
well stranger things have come to be
but let s agree to disagree
cause I don t believe you. I don t believe in you.
you tell me I m not not cute
it s truth or false [something]
but honesty s not your strong suit
and I don t believe you. I don t believe in you.
you tell me of what once was and about [something]
how they were not like me because
but I don t believe you. I don t believe in you.

I had a dream and you were in it. / the blue of your eyes was infinite.
you seemed to be / in love with me / which isn t very realistic.

you [something] and I ll stop crying halfway through
but nothing else you say is true
so I don t believe you. I don t believe in you.
[something] and say I m [something] I m full of fun
but you say that to everyone
well I don t believe you. I don t believe in you.
so you re brilliant [something]
you think I just don t understand
but I don t believe you. I don t believe you. / I don t believe you. I don t believe you.

when I was young I saw a square
a hole where something should be there.
I knew all this was just a cage
this knowledge has not changed with age
I knew then and I know it still
I m being held against my will
inside this stupid hologram
so I won t find out who I am.
I really just pretend to care.
when I m not looking, you re not there.
and you and your disgusting lies
like gravity and compromise / and flesh and life and love and time,
that s your opinion it s not mine.
I live among the robots now
but I ll find my way out somehow
so save your big reality
for when you re so called touching me.
you re only colors in thin air.
when I m not looking you re not there.
