Seen And Not Seen Lyrics

Seen And Not Seen

He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He
thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
through the
years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mind....Or somewhere
in the back of his mind....That he might, by
force of will, cause his face to
approach those of his ideal....The
change would be very subtle....It might
take ten years or so....
Gradually his face would change its' shape....A
more hooked nose...
Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger
forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most
other
people....They had also molded their faced according to
some
ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
suit
their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their
personality would be
forced to change to fit the new appear-
ance....This is why first
impressions are often correct...
Although some people might have made
mistakes....They may have
arrived at an appearance that bears no
relationship to them....
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on
some childish
whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten
half-way
there, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might
have made a similar mistake.
