Magic
Sebastian Waldemar Lysz
Used to be
Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in magic
Used to be that I had faith
Used to be that there was nothing tragic
Nothing wrong at all,
looking in, no one would know it
Why is this so painfully obvious
why are you so vainfully oblivious
Despite all of my common sense
I just can't handle the hard permanence
of letting you go free
why can't you open up your eyes and see
all of the things that you took away from me
Sadness is a killer in the dark
waiting for you like a shark
it will strike with blind indifference
but my humanity becomes and remains my best defense
Used to be that things were good
Used to be that I loved life
Used to be that I had faith
Used to be that I had no strife
