Saccade

We do not see what we see
poor four dimensioned creatures, seething through the light
leaving pinholes of brightness that we think make up the world
when all around us is the darkness of night

We do not know what we know
our minds in post production, pasting photos on the walls
stitching sense into a tapestry we throw over the void
close enough until the final curtain call

Saccade, smear the background, defocus everything
Saccade, blur the details, keep us from questioning
Saccade, fox the watcher, optical trickery
Saccade, fuzz the picture, save us from clarity

We do not do what we do
every action a reaction, move the world and it moves you
slung around a tightening spiral with our partners in the dance
whiplashing in a vibrating groove

We only love who we love
every love is your reflection, shifting flickers in the room
cast by light of self awareness, treat them kindly if you can
because every other person is you

Saccade, smear the background, defocus everything
Saccade, blur the details, keep us from questioning
Saccade, fox the watcher, optical trickery
Saccade, fuzz the picture, save us from clarity

Saccade, smear the background, defocus everything
Saccade, blur the details, keep us from questioning
Saccade, fox the watcher, optical trickery
Saccade, fuzz the picture, save us from clarity, save us from clarity
