Myopia

from High Tide by The Avenues

lyrics

I light this match and I put it to this fuse
So you know what it's like in my shoes
All I’ve gained and all i’ve lost
I pay the price while you control the cost

Again we find ourselves on this familiar way
We walk along the path ignoring the decay
How did it come to this how did we get here
The more I think the more it becomes clear that

Far in the distance
We can see the tide rising high
And from a distance
We can see the problems passing by
And in the distance
We can see the problem from the start
And from a distance
We can watch as the world falls apart

I light this match and I put it to this home
So you know what it's like to be alone
Empty handed and without a place to stay
No one to hear you cry no one to hear you pray

Nobody’s looking at the long run anymore
We’re all so quick to fight and so quick to ignore
Confuse infatuation with necessity
Live in delusion and pretend we cannot see that

I light this match and put it to this silhouette
The ashes fade away along with my regret
I’ll have no part of your direction in these days
I object the double standard that is raised
