To the naked eye..

To the Naked Eye 

---

To the naked eye

I seem to fly 

Through life as airplanes cross the sky 

As cars that cruise the interstate 

No roadblock, border, toll bridge or gate

At 80 an hour just straight straight straight 

I crank up the speed 

Cause there is a need

Conviction, a creed

That íf I don’t speed

Don’t follow thís need

Consuming with greed

The miles at our feet 

That I will be meat

Slaughtered to feed

That greediest need of that greed of that speed

Slow down!

…

To the naked eye 

I seem to fly

Through life

As a bird

That’s cleaving the sky 

As a butterfly

Clapping it’s wings

But ‘I’ live a lie

No heart here that sings 

I follow this speed

As if it’s my need

But ‘I’ must confess: I am different a breed

I do not progress in this life that I fleed

800 an hour won’t show that I bleed

And bleeding I do

I bleed deep inside 

For it is so true 

That the real me I hide

I hide it so no one 

Ever can see

That the pace that I’m showing 

That speed that’s not me

At this pace that I’m going 

I’ll never be free 

To the naked eye 

I don’t seem to cry 

But crying I do for the lying I do

To a ‘self’ that this speed now has turned into ‘you’

And of my own real needs 

‘I have no clue’ 

So..

To the naked eye 

I seem to fly

Through life 

As in fact 

It’s passing me by

I’m trying to slow down 

That painfully speed

That is not myself 

Not my own real need 

But a pace placed upon me dictated by greed

From birth it has told me 

A pace ‘I’ must lead 

…

To the naked eye 

We so dreadfully fear

Enough time has passed by 

So I’ll make myself clear 

No longer will I

Follow your speed

Until I can fly 

Glide my own need

I’m tired my heart has to skip it’s own beat

I’ll break down all paces until I am freed

O naked eye

You gaze upon me

Condemn that I try 

Don’t want “me” to be 

But I’ll find my own sky

Find the real me

Find my own pace

Thát, …

You will see!
