Parallel – Bad Religion – letras

ParallelSleeping on a time bomb, staring into spaceThere’s an ocean of unpleasantries we are not prepared to faceSitting on the fence post to watch the storm roll inAnd terrified of the damage it will bring when it beginsIt will begin…Splintered dreams of unity (our lives are parallel)So far from reality (our lives are parallel)Independent trajectories (our lives are parallel)Separate terms of equality (our lives are parallel)Our lives are parallel ( x4)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 provideGoes the insistence on the ways and means that so divideThey 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 (x4)Forging little plays of deception and painAs we watch our foundation crumble awayStaggering like birds against a hurricaneAnd 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)Parallel… (x4)Our lives are parallel (x4)Parallel…Our lives are parallel (x3)by Thiago Fernandes
