Would you like to see a trick
I hear that you like magic
As the world takes hold our hearts
Watch it disappear with them

Would you like to take a guess
At how it saws our love in half
Can you see the slight of heart
And figure out where it's at

What we had before all that
Was only smoke and mirrors
Where we found nothing left
Once the room had cleared

Just like the rabbit in the hat
Love up and hopped away
What is left with that said
I guess the tricks on you and me

Johnny hates the open air
He doesn't like the rain
Johnny's in his bedroom
On the ‘net again

They tried him with a lego set
That went in the bin
Johnny's collecting passwords
Credit cards and pins

For a lad of only twelve
He's doing rather well
He hacked into the Pentagon
And crashed the shares in Shell

The FBI got on his trail
For causing such a fuss
They wondered should we send the boy to jail
Or make him work for us

All the experiences
from life's coffers
I'm willing to take

To commit into text
with deliberate romanticism

My brand of unspoken poetry
with sense
only I can make

To rebut
my mind's
skeptic cynicism
