Sleeping on a time bomb, staring into space There`s an ocean of unpleasantries we are not prepared to face Sitting on the fence post to watch the storm roll in And terrified of the damage it will bring when it begins It will begin
Splintered dreams of unity (our lives are parallel) So far from reality (our lives are parallel) Independent trajectories (our lives are parallel) Seperate terms of equality (our lives are parallel)
Our lives are parallel
Is there no redemption?No common good? Is there nothing we can do for ourselves?Or only what we should?
Comes the hard admission of what we don`t provide Goes the insistence on the way and means that so divide
They so divide
Side by side suffering loneliness (our lives are parallel) Phony collective progress (our lives are parallel) Accepting that it`s all such a mess (our lives are parallel) Gesturing without hope of redress (our lives are parallel)
Our lives are parallel
Forging little plays of deception and pain As we watch our foundation crumble away Staggering like birds against a hurricane And trying all the while to stay out of each other`s way
Broken dreams of unity (our lives are parallel) Independent trajectories (our lives are parallel) Screaming out for understanding (our lives are parallel) Turning inward and suffering (our lives are parallel)
