Neptune M. - Perspective

To be seen is a Wonder
But you never see me
No eyes of yours can take me in
Now you need me gone
So you can go under
With no one to watch or wait
For you to return again

And I was only helping
Only making it worse
Ah, but you despise every cliché
As if no one else ever hurts

(But) If you know yourself so very well
Why are you not satisfied yet?
If you're so sure you do the right thing
Why have you no Peace yet?
You say you live the only life
That you want to live, so why
Have you no Happiness yet?

Didn't I ever touch you?
Oh didn't I ever cut through to the core?
You acted like I'd seeped inside
But that wasn't really me
Manifest in your mind
Bridge
And you, my ex-perience
I, that sweet instance of gratification
And everything in between has expired
Your fire has no patience
Your fire has no patience

(But) If you know yourself so very well
Why are you not satisfied yet?
If you're so sure of all that you do
Why have you no peace yet?
You say you live the only life
That you want to live, so why
Have you no Happiness yet?

And in all of your awareness, you express
Lover, Stranger
Strange Lover
Come closer, stand back
Stand closer, come back
And adjust the image of me
Till you see me as my friends see me

Little Pebble all washed up on my shore
How'd you get so round so young?
No don't try to tell me
I've no ears to listen
But a mouth to relate the tales of how I was turned to ash
And matching lips
To steal your kisses

So spill onto my cinders
The elixir of your youth
And let's wait with the word love
On our tongues
On the Sun
For the resurrection
But in the absence of the miracle
The word 'Love' must tear
And I will turn to let you know
To let you know
You don't even know me
You don't even know me
You don't even know me
You only know what you've
Seen and heard and felt and thought and touched of me
You don't even know me
You don't even know me
You don't even know me
You only know what you've
Experienced of me
What you think must be wrong
How you feel must be wrong!

Well I guess that's all a matter of Perspective, Babe

And, if you know yourself so very well
Why are you not satisfied yet?
If you're so sure of all that you do
Why have you no Peace yet?
You say you live the only life
That you want to live so why
Have you no Happiness yet?
