Mid-Century Modern

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Have mercy on us Father, who live through this age of storms We barely have the time to bind the wounds caused by our shattered norms The credulous are on crusade against reality And freedom's just another word for acting with impunity It's hard to get your bearings in a world that doesn't care Positions I took long ago feel comfy as an old armchair But the kids that pull the statues down they challenge me to see The gap between the man I am and the man I want to be That old familiar argument blew up again last night The one where one of us is wrong but both of us feel in the right My indignation drove me to say things that I regret And I hurt the one I love the most with my self-righteous temperament Now I must face the consequence of the thoughtlessness I've shown It wasn't my intention to spend this evening all alone But wounded pride is all I have to keep me company In the gap between the man I am and the man I want to be I'm used to people listening to what I have to say And I find it hard to think that it might help if I just stepped away And adjusted my perceptions to reflect reality And the gap between the man I am and the man I want to be The gap between the man I am and the man I want to be
