A Parallax Error by THEN CAME THE RAIN

Written, performed & produced by N. Albin in september 2017.

*****
From a distance
It all seems so quiet
No one would guess
It's such a mess

From this virgin land
It's like a haven
In certain times
In certain times

Keep daydreaming
It's but a haven
That you're saving
For better times

The leaders
Have tamed you well
As if you're meant to be deceived
They twisted
Your common sense
You're only taught what to believe

From a distance
The shape is freaky
What a furnace
The throes of progress

In the morning
Blue turned to dark red
Post modern times
Post modern times

The leaders
Have tamed you well
As if you're meant to be deceived
They twisted
Your common sense
You're only taught what to believe

So desperately shallow
Up to a point hard to conceive
You build up your own gallows
Whereas you beg for a reprieve

Your contradictions kill
Your contradictions
