Magical Thinking

Lyrics

I tap the wood, I hold my breath I keep at bay the things unsaid A crow flew left-I crossed the street You call it nonsense, I call it real

You see a world of chance and spin I see the signs that live within Each crack, each spill, each broken glass- A message whispered from the past

The world we see is not out there It’s crafted by the things we fear And colored with what we hold dear And clarified when dreams appear

I wake the day with sacred tome I move my hands, I’m not alone The world may shift, but I remain Inside the circle I maintain

Not faith in luck, nor dread of wrath- But rhythm laid across the path In every motion, mark, and sound I tether meaning to the ground

The world we see is not out there It’s crafted by the things we fear And colored with what we hold dear And clarified when dreams appear

I don’t obey-I architect I bend the void with intellect I dream, and then I build the thing My faith’s not blind-it’s echoing

I speak the glyph, I strike the chord Not begging fate, but being lord To cast a spell is not pretend- It’s how all futures must begin

The world we see is not out there It’s crafted by the things we fear And colored with what we hold dear And clarified when dreams appear

The world is wide, uncertain too Each voice calls out its point of view So choose with care the one for you As what we think does oft come true
