Point of View - Fates Warning

Image
Looking out on a familiar scene There's no agreement in what we see Your perception lacks clarity And my perspective is blinding me Side by side Divided they stand Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our horizons divide My opinion is just a point of view And your position is the other side Caught up in our convictions we forget How our senses distort things we see We can't accept our differences But we can always disagree Side by side Divided they stand Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our horizons divide My opinion is just a point of view And your position is the other side Where I stand is not so far from YOU A different opinion is just another point of view Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our horizons divide My opinion is just a point of view And your position is the other side Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our ho

Bad Day - R.E.M.

A public service announcement followed me home the other day I paid it nevermind. Go away. Shit so thick you could stir with a stick- free Teflon whitewashed presidency We're sick of being jerked around Wear that on your sleeve Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings We're sick of being jerked around We all fall down Have you ever seen the televised St. Vitus subcommittee prize Investigation dance?

I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real  The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
