Parallax

The film you think you're living in

I might request a pseudonym

If I could look through your lens

Maybe it then would make sense

So hard to see what's wrong or right

What should I use as my insight?

Is it my heart or my mind?

Impulse or one open eye?

The distance

Between us

Is twice what it has been as conflicted

Objectives all collide

Life is not a script you directed

Every angle fits your perspective

Take one, take two

Life is not a script you perfected

Twist the plot to fix your perspective

Take one, take two

Take three, four

And one more

As people, we remain the same

Don't let perceptions bring disdain

Although from where I am sat

You see your fiction as fact

A silence over breakfast plates

I hide the bread knife just in case

I disagree on the shot

Or hit another blind spot

Believe me

It's not fair

I'm caught in your crosshairs

Oh, so hopeless

Don't focus on one truth

Life is not a script you directed

Every angle fits your perspective

Take one, take two

Life is not a script you perfected

Twist the plot to fix your perspective

Take one, take two

Take three, four

And one more

I should be taking a side

It's just so hard to decide

I should be taking a side

I should be taking a side

It's just so hard to decide

I should be taking a side

Life is not a script you directed

Every angle fits your perspective

Take one, take two

Life is not a script you perfected

Twist the plot to fix your perspective

Take one, take two

Reframe, reshoot, oh

Take one, take two

Background, changed view, oh

Take one, take two

Take three, four

Credits roll

I should be taking a side
