Dispense With Sentiment We Are Scientists

[Verse 1]
I've been turning this over in my head
But I've been trying not to pick it up
It's an overture to something, I guess
But I'll be godamned if I can say to what

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I'm winding up to speak
For the first time in weeks

[Chorus]
I'm trying to make sense
Can we start again and drop our defenses?
It might just be best if we start dispensing with sentiment

[Verse 2]
"Was that supposed to be amusing?", she asked
Because I'd rather that you be understood
Well, I'd try harder to be useful, I guess
If I thought usefulnеss would be any good

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I'm lining up to defеat
Before the first sign of heat

[Chorus]
I'm trying to make sense
Can we start again and drop our defenses?
It might just be best if we start dispensing with sentiment
