Like Magic

I was an easy target

I loved the pain

I must have left my body

My limbs remained

My mind keeps my head above the water

My mind is my body

It was given to me to use as a tool

It's not here for you it is mine

You started with the truth

Piece by piece you took it all

My thoughts, my sight, my fear

Like magic, I'm empty

Without me noticing

You steal it all

Word for word

And thought for thought

You started with the truth

Piece by piece you took it all

My thoughts, my sight, my fear

Like magic, I'm empty

My mind keeps my head above the water

My mind is my body

it was given to me to use as a tool

it's not here for you it is mine

and although piece by piece you take it all

I'm the one keeping me alive
