Another unit of our measure
Beyond what we can see
Our days so far
Conform to this blind metric
We let the distance set the tone
For how it travels through our time

We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective

Enforced perspective

We hold in our hands
What once had seemed unreachable
Another turn around
To face illusion
We make our innermost design
Align to a vision we deny

We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective
Enforced perspective

The power to destroy
What towers now before us
The ones that got away
Now hides within us all

That hides within us all

Retune the sight line to
Make sense of our delusion
Out of proportion
One reality fades
We grasp what we can never hold
In matters out of our control

We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective
