Perspectives Songtext

von Hands Like Houses

Be honest with yourself
Do you see in your reflections, someone else?
You're fucking up the glass
And looking for direction
So close you can't see past
I'll make amends, I'll make believe
I'll make my mind up, make you see
I'll take a chance, I'll take a moment
All for nothing
All my life
I've tried letting you inside
To see the world through my eyes, it's all I see
(This time I've wasted)
All my life
You thought that I'd lost my mind
If I could just get it right
And you might see
You just don't get it
You just don't get it
And the light's left on all night
The locks have all been changed
While I'm inside.
And I'm beating down the door
Knuckles bloody, broken raw
I'll try to take these walls and turn them inside out.
It's all for nothing.
All my life
I've tried letting you inside
To see the world through my eyes, it's all I see
(This time I've wasted)
All my life
You thought that I'd lost my mind
If I could just get it right
And you might see
You just don't get it
I'll make amends, I'll make believe
I'll make my mind up, make you see
I'll take a chance, I'll take a moment
And let it out and let go.
It's all for nothing.
It's all for nothing.
All my life
I tried letting you inside.
All my life
I've tried letting you inside
To see the world through my eyes, it's all I see
(This time I've wasted)
All my life
You thought that I'd lost my mind
If I could just get it right
And you might see
You just don't get it
You just don't get it.
It's all for nothing.
You just don't get it.
