[Verse 1]
Reflect on my ‘selfish’ – today regret
Curse ‘all about me’
I never considered anybody else
Never once occured to me others also deserve get their needs met
[Verse 2]
Reflect on my conduct – today regret
Curse my unconscious
I never imagined cause and effect
Denying my baggage mine – weighing me down – warping my world view
[Bridge v1]
No matter excuses ‘I meant you no harm’
Responsibility for causing distress belongs to me – see
[Chorus]
But why not before, why only now?
So many years oblivious
Blinkered my eyes, perverted my mind
Say why only now you pull back the blind?
[Verse 3]
Reflect on my dogma – today regret
Curse my narrow mind
I never considered possibility
Subjective opinions all,
No truth absolute, just saw for / against me
[Bridge v2]
No matter excuses ‘I done nothing wrong’
Responsibility for causing distress belongs to me – see
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental + spoken word]
Could it be that timing is as much about facilitating others as it is facilitating me, that sometimes you even utilise unconsciousness – removing blindfold only when objectives are realised by all … and that in the bigger scheme of things nobody is ultimately abuser or victim? It’s a nice thought!
[Bridge v3]
No matter excuses ‘intention was good’
Responsibility for causing distress belongs to me – see
[Repeat Chorus]
