[short instrumental intro]
[thick bassline]
[energetic beat]

[verse 1]
The alchemy of truth,
may be from a particular perspective,
or colored by youth,
and sprinkled with objective.
For your truth can hold your own view,
your lens through which you see the world.

[verse 2]
And naivety can lead astray,
reality fall subject to that doom.
And you may not have the ability yet,
to completely read the room.

When you don't have wisdom,
You have less fear,
and conclusions are reached quickly.

But life is so much more complex, 
and taken in context its sticky.

Was that what was really meant,
or did it happen by chance?

[Chorus]
The alchemy of truth,
colored by youth
is a perspective
and you are the lens

just focus
bring clarity,
perspective

[interlude]

[verse 3]
Was it deliberate inference,
or laid out by happenstance?

Most times most things are not architected,
they happen in real time whim,
(in real time whim,)

And though the outcome can be devastating,
the creation is less of a sin.

{verse 4]
What leads to what,
and how can that happen,
isn't always clear to see the cause and effect.

And so truth be known, 
good intentions implode,
and things go off track on their own!

[interlude]
[Guitar Solo}

[Chorus]
The alchemy of truth,
colored by youth
is a perspective
and you are the lens

just focus
bring clarity,
perspective

[bridge]
So don't hang the actors with the act,
they alone did not write the script, it's a fact!

Life is all improv,
with a heavy dose of chaos,
giving to much credence to the feelings caused,
can ruin what may be right there.

A living pachinko machine that happened to play out... 
that way, this time, here or there.

The alchemy of truth includes the lens...

[break]

[outro, fade out]
and that lens is you!

[fade out]
(that lens is you...)

(that lens is you...)

[End]
