The Starling Effect - Taking Shortcuts Lyrics

Sending signals and there's no reply
Messages into the void
Are you receiving? Are you even there at all?
What is built is soon destroyed
I can see you any time I like
Images upon a screen
I can turn you off and walk away
But what is seen can't be unseen

You're too nervous now
To walk home in the dark
Not like when you were young
And taking shortcuts through the park

I hardly ever think about it now
Except for all the times I do
Moving pictures in a masquerade
Some that looked a lot like you
Funny how the feeling dies away
Was it ever even there?
If I could I would delete it all
Every confidence we shared

You're too nervous now
To walk home in the dark
Not like when you were young
And taking shortcuts through the park
So you take another drink
To calm your disposition
I've been watching you all night
From various positions
