about

The Uncanny Valley's closing track is a sombre examination of post-break-up interaction. Are there rules for interacting with someone when a relationship ends? Is it healthier to keep the other party at arm's length, despite how it may feel?

lyrics

Babe, there's things that only we know,
Things they'll never see,
That's the way I want it to be.

I never know which way to look
Or what I will see.
Whenever you walk by me
Oh! My heart's a-swell,
Love is hell
So don't tread on me.

Well babe, there's some things that you aughta,
You blew me out of the water,
Into the sea.

Well babe, then nothing really matters
When your heart is battered
Brown and crispy.

I never know which way to look
Or what I will see.
Whenever you walk by me
Oh! My heart's a-swell,
Love is hell,
So don't tread on me.

You never know which way to look
Or what you will see.
Whenever you walk by me
Oh! My heart's a-swell,
Love is hell,
So don't tread on me.
Oh love, don't tread on me.
