The Doors of Perception

The Doors Of Perception

Hollywood portrays the sinner as an actual saint
 It's reverse psychology at it's best thrown in the mix
 We perceive choice as a willing license to sin
 Yet there stands a glimmer of hope a glittering light from above
 A light to guide a darkened pathway of disbelief
 The doors of perception swing wide open to the ambiance of the moment
 Filter through the senses througout a variation in a dream
 People scream as they equate logic for fear
 For I shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
 An eternal flame vested in the natural light of it's hidden claim
 We each must participate in the dance in which will bring romance
 Relax at the wheel where participants claim it's no big deal
 Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plough
 A challenge to be free is a question of time
 The doors of perception is directly in my brain
 Some people today are crazy and totally insane
 Use as an example the spinning wheel in the game of let's make a deal
 We travel through a course in the middle of our brain lest I refrain
 Another destination in which the road will change
 We shall sigh and proclaim it's no big deal yet inside we cry
 A thought made in the darkness has now been brought to light
 Never relent in life for pursuing your dreams to ever give up on the fight
 A chosen few will excel to the next stage of life amidst the danger
 A certain stranger wears his suit to tight in the middle of the night
 He chose to hide behind the four walls of certain compromise
 One word to the wise choose faith to overcome the storms in life
 The doors of perception are a will of power nothing more in between
