Beyond the Naked Eye

Am I just an optical illusion?
Hidden beneath the veil
A magician waving a wand
Inside my very own fairytale

Just an everyday puppet
Supported by invisible strings
Never a hair out of place
Always doing the right thing

Strip me, strip me raw
Expose me for who I am
Remove each layer one by one
No matter the circumstance

Unmask this imposter
Living on the inside of me
Render him a guilty verdict
But set my poor soul free

Unearth my worldly gain
Beneath my bitter skin
Expose my film to the light
Let Truth reveal my sins

Blot out all my iniquities
Until the ink runs dry
Warm this cold heart of mine
For I am not ready to die

I want to lose myself in chaos
Escape Order’s wicked rule
Learn what it is to really be free
Make the world my footstool
