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
