Maps Of Reality Lyrics - Assemblage 23

I suppose in your mind you believe you were right 

That the matter doesn't rest heavy on your shoulders 

But be careful of the ones you wish to indict 

Blame is merely in the eye of the beholder 

Perhaps the time is right to look yourself in the eye 

Take inventory of the world you see around you 

Look at the allegations you were quick to deny 

And ask yourself if they could possibly be true 

CH 

Distorted maps of reality 

Are tearing us apart 

Fan the flames of fallacy 

And watch the truth depart 

Belief is what you make of it 

A creation of your own 

If the outcome is unfit 

Let your conscience take the blow 

It's everybody else's fault besides your own 

But perhaps the finger's pointing in the wrong direction 

Consider that the root of all that you bemoan 

Is pictured in the visage of your own reflection 

I don't expect your view to change, my God, why should it? 

You have yourself convinced that you can do no wrong 

There's not a chance at all that you will ever admit 

The cause of this is you and has been all along 

(CH) 

Distorted lines become an arc become a circle 

The words entwined until the very meaning is gone 

The truth is something for which you can find no purpose 

It's just a starting point to drape more lies upon 

I wish you luck, I really do, because you'll need it 

You can't avoid reality for too long 

And everything collapses into waves of regret 

When you finally understand that it was you who was wrong
