Distorted Vision - Somos

Who knew it would come to this?

Old and boring adages

The poster that you’ve been staring at on the bathroom wall

As inspiration for each day of the week

To get you started on the path to prosperity

There’s nothing like a shot in the arm of fake optimism

To distort your vision…

When you’re on, no one can stand

When you’re on, no one can stand

I’d like to share my thoughts

But then I’m just another interruption

You’re just a holdout from another time

The yes men around you keep your head high

Out on a ledge again

Self-referential and effacing…

You might find, you might find

That I could see, I could see

Something that could never hang on a wall

Worth a thousand words of useless praise

A lifetime worth of accolades

There’s enough hatred around

To paint this whole town or burn it all down

How long could your patience hold out

From the bottom of the pile?
