Double Vision

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

This has never been nepotism

Just a boy on a mission

Solo under ground control

From which love

Was an empty echo

He had never known

Secret tracks

To get his freedom back.

I can see tomorrow today

Sorrow always comes my way

It's the fee to be me

And I’m too poor to pay

Everything I dreamed

Died before I could set them free

Luck wasn’t in my memory.

(Chorus)

Never been on the good end

Of nepotism

Just a lone man

On a mission

Call me the nepotism division

With double vision.

If I can’t be your hero in a song

There is no sound to a love note

Do you ever still dream

Of what sound comes from the sun

Is a flare a snare

Trapped in an imaginary land

Where love dreams

Better things for you and me.

(Chorus)

Never been on the good end

Of nepotism

Just a lone man

On a mission

Call me the nepotism division

With double vision.

Looking back into tomorrow

The dreams ended yesterday

Feels like

Seems like

Looks like my love 

Was only given a way down

I don’t hate

Just an echo of pain

I regret the idea 

To be a man in your story

A character with no name.

(Chorus)

Never been on the good end

Of nepotism

Just a lone man

On a mission

Call me the nepotism division

With double vision.

(Bridge)

For better feels worse

Love is a drug

With a curse

No time for a place

Looks like my heart

Is invisible again

A sunset on a Saturday

All night to dream and play

Only to wake up

The next day

So lonely.

From a boy on a mission

A star crossed dreamer

Telling stories of tomorrow today

A nepotism division 

To a lone man

On a mission

With double vision.

Nepotism division.
