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
Reframe, reshoot
Background, changed view
Credits roll
