Another rabbit out of the giant top-hat of life

I was surprised to find
That the pain
Of a broken heart
Really does impose itself on the body
I thought I didn't love
I thought I was immune
And only after it was too late
Did I realise how wrong I had been...
How blind...

My whole life
I've worked on walls
Barricades
I created a shield
Enveloped myself inside of it
I thought it would protect me
I thought I'd be safe
But all the armor did
Was obscure my vision
Until I could no longer even see myself...
I was so oblivious...

How does it happen
That even while clutching at the pieces
Of my torn and shredded heart
Even while trapped
In this hopeless situation
I'm still trying?
Why can I still hope?
Like a child wishing desperately
That the magic will save me...
All I can believe...

Hocus-pocus cannot collect the pieces
And put them back together again
Magic doesn't understand love
And I am only human
My life is full of unnecessary beliefs
Unnecessary concepts
Love is not necessary...
Love is a lie...

And if that was what I truly believed
There would be no point left in living
But I'm still wishing
I'm still dreaming
And as long as I can hope
As long as I believe I can love...
Life will go on...
