Heart You Deceive
1.
I never believed in magic
never did,
life is hard
that’s all it is
It’s tragic, but only to some
that try to imagine their kingdom come
the hidden rabbit breaths hard in the sleeve
with roses,
dead pedals
still we believe
in fairy and dust,
sneeze if you must
get out of the vacuum,
sweep up the lust
for what you deceive, those dreams that will come
you're starting a race refusing to run
at least in your mind, clouding the line
projecting
in transit
never define
what is this race?
Why did I go?
who is this face?
what do they know?
Feel the pin prick, cut in the skin
that is the truth! The place you begin!
2.
who gave you that innocent wand
I think you made it, and blamed it on...
Hope
dream
God
love
bright descending wing of the dove.
ignite the torch, hunt the witch
land a pole dig a ditch
but... beautiful
What beauty you breath
the magic you hold
the heart you deceive
the invisible hope soft in my side
the wizard of pain, boldly defied
Love
Peace
Innocent
need
you cozen the truth, I never believed.
betray my conviction, to die in the fight
dilute my addiction to think I am right
I never believed
but never knew
the magic I need
inside of you
but not really magic, I dressed it in greed
bluffing this tragic heart I deceive
for
Anger
bitter
hypocrisy
casting my spell refusing to cede
3.
I never believed in magic
never will,
life is hard
and willing to kill
it’s tragic, but only to some
refusing to see their kingdom come
