Scent of the way

To do magic I’ve to believe in magic

Even knowing that’s not real

This Inconsistency deceive is tragic

Is it real? Is it surreal? But

The mask blurs my vision

Since I get up until I lay down to sleep

I can’t find the appeal

It’s an incision that will never heal

And, oh yes, it is deep and

It’s hard to keep but harder to tell

So, I live breath by breath

In an almost constant, state of restless

The air I breed makes a dance of death

Great and honest for my eyes to see

Since I get up until I lay down to sleep

I want, and I can, but I won’t?

Freedom costs,

The weight weights,

A man gasps

And I? I just breed

With an heavyweight core

To whom I want to play a trick

To untangle myself from this burden

Cause if I wasn’t I

Maybe he wouldn’t write

Or maybe he wouldn’t be alive

If I wasn’t I

I wouldn’t be me

It’s actually funny how the universe works

The randomness or not

The most minuscule single variation

Could affect everything or nothing

Could mean the difference between life and death

Between me, he, or you.

Magic could even exist!
