Just an opinion

lyrics

I SEE CLEARLY NOW
PAST THE GREY INTO THE DEEP DARK MATTER CLOUD AIN’T IT SO PROFOUND
PERCEPTIONS’ ONE THING THAT IS HOLDING US DOWN
GO TAKE A LOOK AROUND
GET SCOPE ON EVERY ANGLE KEEP YA EAR TO THE GROUND
PEEP THE BIGGER PICTURE LISTEN OUT FOR THE SOUNDS
YOU GUNNA PLAY THE CLOWN SON OR ARE YOU SPORTING A CROWN
IT’S TIME TO SORT IT OUT
YOU GUNNA PAY THE PIED PIPER OR YOU HOLDIN IT DOWN
HA I AINT BLOWIN NO SMOKE RIGHT I DON'T LIE
I AINT SAYIN THAT YOU WRONG OR THAT IM RIGHT
IM JUST SAYIN THAT YOU NEED TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER
DON’T BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA REPTILE MEDIA
DO I GOTTA USE A WOODEN STAKE
I’LL SEE YOU ON THE WAY DOWN WHEN THE FUCKIN LADDER BREAK

Don’t you see that, don’t you know that
Maybe it just that your eyes are wide shut
Vows unbroken now out of focus
Maybe it just that your eyes are wide shut

AND NO I NEVER REALLY DID GET IT
PROMISE OF FORGIVENESS YET UNAPOLOGETIC
USE FAITH LIKE A CHEAP COSMETIC
LEECH OFF ANYBODY WHO’D LISTEN OR SPARE A MINUTE
AH - YOU MUST BE HYPER KINETIC
STUCK IN ADOLESCENCE, YA TRAIN A THOUGHT SEVERED
YEAH THEM EYES WIDE SHUT LIKE YA DEVIL INTENDED
CLAIM TO KNOW THE ANSWERS, BUT LACKIN IN FACT AND FIGURES
HA – MADE YA FIRST MISTAKE
BELIEVING GODS A PERSONALITY, I THINK YOU BEEN PLAYED
YOU TWISTED UP IN YOUR IGNORANCE,
I DON’T SEE THE POINT SON I AIN’T BOTHER WASTIN BREATH
JUST SAYIN IM GUIDED BY MY CONSCIENCE
YOU HELLBENT ON COMPLICATED NONSENSE
MY PATH SO I’LL FIND THE WAY
CHOOSE LIFE OVER FATE YEAH I MAKE THE MOST OF EVERYDAY

Don’t you see that, don’t you know that
Maybe it just that your eyes are wide shut
Vows unbroken now out of focus
Maybe it just that your eyes are wide shut

Seen to be chasing dreams wide awake but fast asleep you
couldn't fathom half the shit that I truly believe
labelled conspiracy theorist from a flock of sheep
manifesting fear inside a kid with their own beliefs
do or say the wrong thing and you will burn in hell
second guess the father OK then you might as well
pull the trigger once the barrels' pressed against the skull
happy birthday kid, yo limbos' where ya gunna dwell
go and try to sell ya salvation to me I'll
spit it in ya face know life's about the here and now
uneducated, close minded, blindly captivated
believing those who don't assimilate stay as strangers
intellect separates me from the common hater
I'm a tell ya ya searching for a fuckin savior
look in the mirror that's the only one that's gunna save ya
save ya babble for the feeble cunts I don't believe ya
say I'm blessed, well if I'm blessed then it's with common sense
cos from the age of ten my spider sense was kickin in
nosce te ipsum catch a rat out in among the friends
strike like a taipan, venomous in every breath
not heaven sent, depths of hell is where i crept
if I'm faithless means I really don't believe in shit
know we luminous beings not this crude matter
matter of a fact I know the truth, we all atomic matter
