Pink Elephant



Help heal a war-weary world

We’re all looking at the same moon and stars

The paths we take

History’s full of bad jokes and cracks in nooks

But who cares to look?

The world’s a lie

I don’t see the world; I see myself


Pink elephant in the room, in the room, in the room

Never did I foresee

Yellow monkey jump around, jump around, jump around

Little did I believe

What does it take for me to see, for me to see, for me to see

The root lies with me


God, I’m broken

Lost my connection, and I float alone

God, I’m hanging on

Change the channel, broadcast me there. Where?

Right where you abide

The world’s a lie

I don’t see the world; I see myself


Pink elephant in the room, in the room, in the room

Never did I foresee

Monkey jump around, jump around, jump around

Little did I believe

What does it take for me to see, for me to see, for me to see

The root lies with me

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!
