TILT
Where will you virtually go today?
To the ends of the earth where all will follow?
To where the world will fall in love again
With images of your beauty they will swallow
And it’s here when you must comprehend
That passion sometimes goes unrequited
After all the watchers maybe watching
Diligently from a distance uninvited
And in the inquisitive visages of vanity
Cater to your every secret and need
You provide the info they always wanted
Undaunted and unknowingly you concede
Narcissus and Echo would be astounded
With what the world has become today
For in the portraits you reveal a bit more
Of your naked soul for all in full display
And then you hear someone is watching
Troubling and unsettling your peace of mind
Regardless of where you go in cyber space
Someone picks up the crumbs you left behind
And so they shadow you, analyzing you
To the point they understand you better
Crafting the perfect lust for your heart
Making your appetite that much whetted
Then you go back right into that blissful cycle
Creating dreams for others to come and stay
All dwelling amongst nuances and innuendoes
While they observe you close but from far away
Yet you’ve always had that effect on people
And now the world wants an intimate look
Contrary to your belief of your privacy
Once lied to then you’re on the hook
Are you savvy to the underlying status quo?
And drawn in by the influences of the day
Or will you eventually evolve to an iconoclast
Awake and aware to keep the wolves at bay
Look at the fundamentals from another angle
And with a new perspective you should dredge
Discovering the reality with newfound perception
And the truth will send you over the edge
To the ends of the earth where all will follow?
To where the world will fall in love again
With images of your beauty they will swallow
And it’s here when you must comprehend
That passion sometimes goes unrequited
After all the watchers maybe watching
Diligently from a distance uninvited
And in the inquisitive visages of vanity
Cater to your every secret and need
You provide the info they always wanted
Undaunted and unknowingly you concede
Narcissus and Echo would be astounded
With what the world has become today
For in the portraits you reveal a bit more
Of your naked soul for all in full display
And then you hear someone is watching
Troubling and unsettling your peace of mind
Regardless of where you go in cyber space
Someone picks up the crumbs you left behind
And so they shadow you, analyzing you
To the point they understand you better
Crafting the perfect lust for your heart
