Selective View

Lyrics:

I was walking through the square when I heard the towers fell
from a stranger passing by
and they caught it live
couldn’t believe my eyes

And we talked a lot about what it meant to be
a free society
and our resiliency
but we couldn’t bare to see
how it used to be

So we cut them out like faces in a lovers’ photograph
from a love that didn’t last
so we wouldn’t lack
what can’t be gotten back

My eyes have opened
from the selective field of view
and I can see my transgressions
that I’ve felt before
chosen to ignore

Sitting at the bar drinking late into the night
waiting for Mrs. right
or till they turn up the lights
nothing happened but he thought it might

Never mind it wasn’t the right place to be
such a small probability
of the right mentality
in any woman that he may see

My eyes have opened
from the selective field of view
and I can see my transgressions
that I’ve felt before
chosen to ignore

Sure enough when the information is selected
the world can be corrected
and egos stay protected
but the truth may be neglected

And what we learn is what we believe
we ask “why me?”
I just got unlucky

Take no responsibility
why me
just got unlucky

My eyes have opened
from the selective field of view
and I can see my transgressions
that I’ve felt before
chosen to ignore
