It’s all relative, right? One thought, many thinkers
One flame, many cinders One view, many windows
Love in a time without sacrifice We want what we want And what’s more, we deserve it
We run around panicking Nervous, thinking Could this be the one?
Man, they’re perfect Couple years later
You’re chained to the circuit Breaking them down
As if you’re determined to waste what you’ve found
But what’s true about you? Is it the things that you claim to be true
Or is it deeper? Lurking in places that you Don’t dare to journey to
Faced with a new Way of seeing it Are you type to accept
Or the type to clench fists and reject?
Whose truth even counts? Is it the person who doubts
What a person proclaims they’re about? Whose version is perfect?
Is there a truth that exists Outside of perception?
This is the question
It’s true if you believe it The world is the world
But it’s all how you see it One man’s flash of lightning ripping through the air
Is another’s passing glare, its hardly there
Two people One thinks Two’s deceitful Two thinks One’s plain evil
One loved Two so much it was like worship Two thought One was perfect
One said to Two ‘I’m awful, trust me You’re so pure that you should not touch me.’
Two said ‘I don’t care, I love you I can’t wait to know you.’
One said ‘I’m scared, I will show you The bad side that I don’t like.’
Two said ‘Be yourself and I will be myself We don’t need no one else
With their opinions The past is gone, let’s move on Make present.’
Two said ‘Ok, you’re the best.’ Well, you know the rest - It all went sour
And now Two thinks One is mad for power One thinks Two tried to devour
Everything that made One One But Two thinks One got Two too wrong
So if there’s one truth that lasts forever Can two truths ever exist together?
If One loves Two but Two don’t love Whose truth is true and is truth enough?
In the back of the cab The girls look at each other, like ‘What the fuck was that?’
‘I thought it was that In Da Club one.’ ‘I don’t know,’ says the diver, ‘I never liked rap.’
‘Well, can’t you put it on Magic then Or something like that?’
