Bad Religion - Parallel lyrics
[Bad Religion - Parallel lyrics]
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)
Separate 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 ways
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 foundations 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)
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)
Separate 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 ways
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 foundations 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)
