Things Aren’t What They Seem

Things Aren’t What They Seem

everyone sees a different world
everyone sees different things
what world can you see?
everyone gets different ideas
things aren’t what they seem
so many people on the fringe
not fitting in with the logic created
the one dimensional picture
where everything is as you anticipate
it seems we try to create a world
where everyone can be explained
which is strange, because it can’t

everyone sees a different world
some see a world which many don’t
where they have to accept the unexplainable
as part of their everyday lives
where loneliness stabs again and again
and fear is as real as you or i
a world of shadows and ghosts
a world where people never die
where anything can come alive
are they mad, or more sane than most?
that’s up to you to decide
but remember everyone sees a different world
perception is more than a view from your eyes
everyone sees different things
what world can you see?
things aren’t what they seem
it has more to do with the inner mind


James Garratt – July 1995
