Worldview

Letter Seventeen

I don’t even know you anymore.

You open your mouth, the words slip out
I’m shocked by what I hear
The differences couldn’t be more clear
Same scene, different views
With our eyes and on the news
And I’m not sure what to do

I don’t understand your worldview
It’s like I no longer know you
We used to be so in sync
Now I hear you talk and I don’t know what to think
I don’t understand your worldview
I’m struggling here, I don’t know what to do
I’m pretty sure that I haven’t changed
So why is it you now sound so deranged?

Scene of the fire. You’re cheering it on
All I see is everything wrong
You look at me and say you don’t understand
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Different facts, different truths
Makes me wonder what’s become of you

There was a time we saw things eye to eye
I’m pretty sure those days are long gone by
I feel a distance growing every day
I can’t find any right words to say
