Forest For The Trees

I don't live in a time
 Where the truth prevails
 Things just seem to happen
 On an escalating scale
 They play you for a fool
 To weaken your resolve
 Drowning you in details
 To make you miss the whole
 Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
 Beads of amber, parking lots
 From your view, you see a lot
 What you really see
 Forest for the trees
 ♪
 I don't live in a world
 Big on clarity
 The way it's coming at us
 So relentlessly
 Where does one thing end
 And the next one start
 Where to begin
 To keep it all apart
 Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
 Keys are in the flower pot
 A rider brings his horse to trot
 All is lost on me
 Forest for the trees
 ♪
 Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
 Awoken by a rifle shot
 From your view, you see a lot
 But never the whole piece
 Forest for the trees
 We're running out of movieplots
 Your stomach's tied into a knot
 Crackles as the needle drops
 On a somber melody
 A heartbreak elegy
 Unsurprisingly
 Called "Forest for the trees"
 Oooh, aaah...
