The Magician

Long ago, television didn't spew these talentshows

Sucking up attention, that is all he knows

Seems as if he'll never have his fill

Even though the audience has long forgotten bout his show

He never took the time to look behind, you know?

No, he couldn't care at all

Come on, take it', that is all he's ever done

Hesitation's a no-go

Twist and fake it, that is all he's ever known

Take it down, take it slow'

He's been around and he will show ya

Everything bout how it's done, tall stories of his glory

Mirror, mirror on the wall, how could you lie to me, do you care not at all?

Let's pretend this didn't happen on my watch

Are you positive you truly saw me fail?

Say his name, he sees, he fears, he feeds, but he can feel no shame

He never even noticed any cry or blame

No, he couldn't care at all

Come on take it, that is all he's ever done

Hesitation's a no-go

Twist and fake it, that is all he's ever known

Take it down, take it slow

He's been around and he will show ya

Everything bout how it's done, tall stories of his glory

Did he ever tell you why he didn't show his face no more?

(Did he ever tell you - Why did he never ever tell you?)

Could we go back in time and catch the ghost before life changes on a dime?

(Let it go, it will blow, even though)

my heart is aching, it's heartbreaking

Come on, take it, that is all he's ever done

Hesitation's a no go

Twist and fake it, that is all he's ever known

Take it down, take it slow
