lyrics

Better to See

I close my eyes
The better to see, the better to see, the better to see

I open my eyes
To see what I need, to see what I need, to see what I see

I am looking inside
To see what is real
I don't need to hide
To show what I feel

In a moment when I have no hesitation
I can sense that something deeper is in motion
I am ready for a vestal visitation
To steady some of this inner commotion

I take out my pen
To write what I see, to write what I see, to write what I see

There’s a myriad of men
Who are talking through me, talking through me, so I write what they see

I keep on messing around
To find what can be found
I go deep into the sound
Dig deeper for something profound

In a moment when I have no hesitation
I can sense that something deeper is in motion
I am ready for a vestal visitation
To steady some of this inner commotion

I close my eyes
The better to see, the better to see, the better to see

I open my eyes
To see what I need, to see what I need, to see what I see
