When you were young
eyes unstung
advice that was wise, was effect without cause
You lived your life on a brain wave with Carl Gustav Jung
You could see no serious flaws
You were on the road to Oz.
The years have changed everything on the surface , but not your eyes,
It's still hearts you respond to, that you recognize.
And still you ignore the imperfections that are so obvious.
it's not easy to still the mind
not easy
to defy your spirit.
At birth it's what you inherit
what's left when you take down the ornaments
By your mother you were educated about your essence
Strangely school couldn't get to you
Maybe because you never stopped believing in guardian angels
hate never stuck to you
You make vows in your half sleep
You have the faith of a big city Bo Peep
When you plant a seed, you intend to reap
and have it all planned for joy to leap.
All your systems are synchronous.
it's not easy to still the mind
not easy
to defy your spirit
At birth it's what you inherit
And what's left when you take down the ornaments.
when the blinds are drawn you light a candle to light up the shadows that kindle the dawn.
The light carries stardust that disperses metaphors whenever you move.
Your understanding of morality, you read on people's faces.
You pay special attention when they make a move.
You're prepared to break the rules,
and you dazzle when you put on your jewels.
They're your tools
No one takes you for a fool.
There's some Greek goddess with whom you're analogous.
All the corrupted people congregate at the spoils
They expect the royal treatment
If you look close you'll see their educations are splattered with condiments,
but still they expect to be re-invited.
For some reason you can see through it
As long as there's light you won't quit
Sometimes I don't get it
But I guess that's just what happens when you've figured a way to make your atoms split
and in the moonlight everything becomes auspicious.
it's not easy to still the mind
not easy
to defy your spirit
At birth it's what you inherit
What's left when you take down the ornaments.
