Naked Eyes



She’s the sky, my perfect sky

She’s the road that takes me home

She’s the moon, she’s the stars

She’s the room

And her naked eyes meet mine


She’s my skin, and she’s on fire

She lights a candle, and my desire

She’s the touch that takes you there

She’s the blanket when you’re scared

And her naked eyes meet mine


She’s the ship that reaches shore

She’s the dream that goes on

She’s the age that never dies

She soothes the pain that’s by my side

And her naked eyes meet mine

She’s the tree that bears

She’s the friend who cares

And her naked eyes meet mine

And her naked eyes meet mine

And her naked eyes meet mine

Songs


A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.



Lila Tace


My journey in art started in torment as a fifteen-year-old girl. Life was suffocating me, and I felt small. The world was hostile, and I had no voice. I was cloaked in layers of pain that kept me from experiencing and expressing my soul authentically. Thankfully, music found me.


Songs came to me in dreams, and I jotted them down. I taught myself to play the guitar and slowly broke out of my shell. Arriving at authenticity through art is a spiritual journey. Each art session is a purge—a rewriting of destiny with each sharing of art.


It took me fifteen years to free my little soul from the tar I collected. Today, I freely express myself and feel alive. This, to me, is a miracle as I think back to where it all started.


Today, art is my spiritual discipline, a meditation—A direct experience of my soul aligned with the flow of life. Through art, I experience God. Through art, I surrender layers of my past to discover who I truly am.


I share The Spiritual Path Of Art through my podcast, books, and community. It is my wish that you find your place in the world as an artist!
