There's Nothing More Deceptive Than an Obvious Fact

You look for evidence to prove that you're right
Ignore the context, focus on what's in sight
On intuition, on stereotypes
Presuming that a tiger never changes its stripes

To a conclusion you can't read between the lines
The puzzle is missing pieces you can't find
You can move them around, try to keep an open mind
But it's all useless if you only attend to the signs

If you reason only to confirm what you believe
It also affects what you're able to perceive
When the box is closed and you can't see inside
Remember the cat is both dead and alive
When you assume that the odds are stacked
There's nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact

In conversations every word is magnified
Through the looking glass of trauma and pride
Mere implications are hard to identify
When first impressions are based on a smile

Differentiating when you aren't qualified
Forgetting your keys isn't enough to verify
You think it's a problem and overanalyze
But you'll lose no matter how hard you try

If you reason only to confirm what you believe
It also affects what you're able to perceive
When the box is closed and you can't see inside
Remember the cat is both dead and alive
When you assume that the odds are stacked
There's nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact

If you reason only to confirm what you believe
It also affects what you're able to perceive
When the box is closed and you can't see inside
Remember the cat is both dead and alive
When you assume that odds are stacked
There's nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact
