It’s so beautiful, it’s magical
It’s everything you want to be, everything you’ve ever wanted
And it’s magic and it’s a fairytale and it’s heaven
And you open your arms and your chest
To finally fall, to only realize
There is no such thing as magic, as magical
As it doesn’t even exist
It’s only delusion, it’s manipulation, it’s a lie
Your happiness is a lie
So is your sadness too
And you wonder: what then is not?
Nothing is because everything is
Because you’re never satisfied of any end
As you always hope for more
And you fall into your own lie
As hope is also a lie you keep telling yourself until it comes true
But when does it come true? If not only a split second
Like everything else in this world, like every feeling you have
You believe, you think, you guess
And they’re all wrong because there’s no right
And your right is wrong
And your wrong is right
And you wonder: what then is true?
Nothing is because everything is
Because no one gets to say anything when it comes to you
And you don’t get to say anything when it comes to them
And it is magical, and I believe, and I think, and I guess
It is still magical how little I know about this
Even though I know about it
But knowing something is only an illusion
Because you will never know anything
And we’re all enjoying ignorance
And it is magical, it’s magic and it’s beautiful
To realize it is true
Ignorance is bliss
