ASSEMBLAGE 23 - MAPS OF REALITY lyrics

rate me

I suppose in your mind you believe you were right

That the matter doesn't rest heavy on your shoulders

But be careful of the ones you wish to indict

Blame is merely in the eye of the beholder

Perhaps the time is right to look yourself in the eye

Take inventory of the world you see around you

Look at the allegations you were quick to deny

And ask yourself if they could possibly be true

Distorted maps of reality

Are tearing us apart

Fan the flames of fallacy

And watch the truth depart

Belief is what you make of it

A creation of your own

If the outcome is unfit

Let your conscience take the blow

It's everybody else's fault besides your own

But perhaps the finger's pointing in the wrong direction

Consider that the root of all that you bemoan

Is pictured in the visage of your own reflection

I don't expect your view to change, my God, why should it?

You have yourself convinced that you can do no wrong

There's not a chance at all that you will ever admit

The cause of this is you and has been all along

Distorted maps of reality

Are tearing us apart

Fan the flames of fallacy

And watch the truth depart

Belief is what you make of it

A creation of your own

If the outcome is unfit

Let your conscience take the blow

Distorted lines become an arc become a circle

The words entwined until the very meaning is gone

The truth is something for which you can find no purpose

It's just a starting point to drape more lies upon

I wish you luck, I really do, because you'll need it

You can't avoid reality for too long

And everything collapses into waves of regret

When you finally understand that it was you who was wrong

Distorted maps of reality

Are tearing us apart

Fan the flames of fallacy

And watch the truth depart

Belief is what you make of it

A creation of your own

If the outcome is unfit

Let your conscience take the blow
