lyrics

No point in adding to the sad romantic canon
The melodies are dull and the rhymes are pretty dismal
Anyway, I was never good at writing love songs
You know I'd rather keep the happy songs in hymnals

But lately I've been stuck inside a sequence
Of disorienting blur and so far, it's never-ending
You know I'm used to coloring in these sharp, jagged lines
But this feeling seems to spill on over everything

Don't think that I can't recognize the patterns
There's a spark, and then it starts, and then the whole thing falls apart
Until the only thing left certain
Clichéd collapses, closing curtains

But lately I've been cutting this to pieces
Looking hard at every angle to defend this
Just pull the filters off the lenses
'Cause right now all it does is blend into

Soft focus
Soft focus

Well they say that when Samson met Delilah
There was fire, there was passion, there were sexy mullet haircuts
You know it ended on a sour note
A little violence and despair but

You know I'm not sure if that kind of thing still happens
And if it does, well I never seem to notice
But I know whenever you're involved
Well the whole scene dissolves into

Soft focus
Soft focus
