The Depth Perception
He leaps on towards a darkened sky
and he tries, oh, he tries
But these store bought wings they talk and sing
but never seem to fly
Clever words inspire with a voice that echoes soft and sweet
Fills the air with promise but his eyes they cannot see...
Between the tallest Castles
Beyond the green-lined streets
Where Sun becomes the shadow
A man seeks worth in the computer screen
His home it falls to shambles
Not because of absent green
The office becomes his family yet he still can't see
No he still can't see...
The refractions of a self made paralyzing paradigm
Finding truth in distortions
The broken path that's traced
Seems to grow with every step we take
Searching for satisfaction
When the beautiful depth perception of life gets swept away (Swept away)
No choice but to swim in a daze!
We drown ourselves with waves of fear oh!
In a sea of prosthetic dreams
Existence, yes, but only by tradition
But you can't see what's cropped
When the vision's lost
To a near sighted position
Is there something more to this picture?
What to do, what to do?
When the hunger we feed
Consumes us too, oh!
Yeah, there's got to be a new depth perception
He swims with the sharks
Why can't he see they fill the water with blood
He swims with the sharks
Why can't he see they fill the water with blood
Wasting away he can't see the miracle in this life
Just open up your eyes
Step back and open up your eyes!!
Just open up your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes!
and he tries, oh, he tries
But these store bought wings they talk and sing
but never seem to fly
Clever words inspire with a voice that echoes soft and sweet
Fills the air with promise but his eyes they cannot see...
Between the tallest Castles
Beyond the green-lined streets
Where Sun becomes the shadow
A man seeks worth in the computer screen
His home it falls to shambles
Not because of absent green
The office becomes his family yet he still can't see
No he still can't see...
The refractions of a self made paralyzing paradigm
Finding truth in distortions
The broken path that's traced
Seems to grow with every step we take
Searching for satisfaction
When the beautiful depth perception of life gets swept away (Swept away)
No choice but to swim in a daze!
We drown ourselves with waves of fear oh!
In a sea of prosthetic dreams
Existence, yes, but only by tradition
But you can't see what's cropped
When the vision's lost
To a near sighted position
Is there something more to this picture?
What to do, what to do?
When the hunger we feed
Consumes us too, oh!
Yeah, there's got to be a new depth perception
He swims with the sharks
Why can't he see they fill the water with blood
He swims with the sharks
Why can't he see they fill the water with blood
Wasting away he can't see the miracle in this life
Just open up your eyes
Step back and open up your eyes!!
Just open up your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes!
