It appears to me the pen / has overanalyzed again...

Apparently, I will have to buy that album that Starbucks has been pimping lately. Last week I heard the geekiest pop song ever, and I finally searched for the lyrics and it turns out to be by Sia. At least I know where to buy it. :)

I am a dash and you are a dot
When will you see that I am all that you've got
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
I'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt

Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love...
