Close one eye and the world jumps left
close the other, it jumps right
the truth is hiding in the cleft
between two angles of the light
Parallax, parallax
the closer that it is, the more it moves
hold it back, hold it back
the distance is the thing that proves
(measure me from over there)
(measure me from over here)
(the answer's somewhere in the air)
(the answer disappears)
The stars don't shift, they're far enough
to look the same from anywhere
but you, up close, you call my bluff
you move whenever I'm aware
Two eyes, one world, no agreement
I triangulate the disagreement
stand still, stand still, and let me see
exactly where you'd have to be
Parallax, parallax
the closer that it is, the more it moves
hold it back, hold it back
the distance is the thing that proves
