Enforced Perspective

Another unit of our measure Beyond what we can see Our days so far Conform to this blind metric We let the distance set the tone For how it travels through our time We set our sights too far We narrowed our scope I hold my hand to the sky for scale To prove my insignificance Enforced perspective Enforced perspective We hold in our hands What once had seemed unreachable Another turn around To face illusion We make our innermost design Align to a vision we deny We set our sights too far We narrowed our scope I hold my hand to the sky for scale To prove my insignificance Enforced perspective Enforced perspective The power to destroy What towers now before us The ones that got away Now hides within us all That hides within us all Retune the sight line to Make sense of our delusion Out of proportion One reality fades We grasp what we can never hold In matters out of our control We set our sights too far We narrowed our scope I hold my hand to the sky for scale To prove my insignificance Enforced perspective
