Array ( [sid] => 42690 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => perception vs. reality [time] => 2004-04-11 00:50:43 [hometext] => The beginning workings of a song I wrote a while ago. [bodytext] => I look around but all I see is you
Perception equals reality
You showed me another way
I'm blinded by the view
My vision through your reality

It saddens me sometimes
when your reality becomes a dark place
I run to save you from the silence

The deafening sounds equate a new reality
My efforts are lost
I have failed once again

We stand together in a room full of faces
One of us questions this perception
You see opporitunity, I see obstacles
One of us is changing

Somewhere everything goes wrong
In a messed up sort of way
This reality is distorted like my perception
My reality turns to silence.
I'm my own sacrificial lamb [comments] => 2 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 34 [informant] => reachingzero [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

perception vs. reality

Ohhhhh RZ, this is going to be a amazing song if you ever get it to music... I could hear it in my head, but its hard to explain. I hope you keep posting cause I really enjoy everything Ive read so far. You are excellent.
