I saw you looking through a glass
To magnify your past
Looking through a photo of yourself
Spin around 'til you get tired
To fight the fact that you're hard wired, today.
Crystal balls and crazy eights
Cauldron pots and great escapes
Don't you know there's magic all around you
Lights come on when you wake up
You drink with God from the Devil's cup, today.
Crooked kings and a voodoo witch
Sing low key just off pitch
Rolling down their crumbling hill of bones
Lick your finger, throw your knife
'Cause you miss it all if you blink twice, today.
Circumstances drop again
To stain the ink of a fountain pen
Things unraveling all the while you breathe
One man laughs, another screams
Mother's cry from broken dreams, today
Scratch your leg or squash a bug
Paint the room or wreck the rug
Decisions are just questions you don't know
Hammers come to other's walls,
When you put yourself on pause, today.
Broken glass and hearing aids
Sold by scamsters, double paid
Laughing, driving, running down your flat
You think once, but never twice
About if you even own your life, today.
Brothers Grimm and Mother Goose
Had no hate for Dr. Suess
Don't let them pin yourself on up against you
I knew a man from a fairytale,
That burnt all his books on his shelf, today.
