Black Magic Lyrics by Tarquin Alexandra

Pretend EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Can I sell my soul for a black magic trick?
If I lose control can I get my money back?
I guess I’ll heed your words, I’ll seal the deal on a silver plaque
I’ll trick the devil too, I’ll tie him down to a railroad track
[Pre-Chorus]
All that self love bullshit that they preach
Just to glue you to the TV screen
Another victim of the system
She’s “got your back”
And that flashy but breakable ego I always lacked
[Chorus]
I’ll hide inside this room ‘till I find
A personality that I like
A version of me that I don’t mind
Or a mask I can hide behind
I’ll try on every dress in the shop
Just to hide behind the screen of my laptop
And stay inside avoiding the raindrops that wash away my makeup
[Verse 2]
Can’t you tell that I’m falling asleep?
Won’t you remember me in your dreams?
And I’m trying to keep my eyes open
Won’t you remember me when I close them?
And my patience is growing thin
Though my ego is thickening
Self esteem going down the shoot
Oh I wish I could just reboot
[Pre-Chorus]
All that self love bullshit that they preach
Just to glue you to the TV screen
Another victim of the system
She’s “got your back”
And that flashy but breakable ego I always lacked
[Chorus]
I’ll hide inside this room ‘till I find
A personality that I like
A version of me that I don’t mind
Or a mask I can hide behind
I’ll try on every dress in the shop
Just to hide behind the screen of my laptop
And stay inside avoiding the raindrops that wash away my makeup
I’ll hide inside this room ‘till I find
A personality that I like
A version of me that I don’t mind
Or a mask I can hide behind
I’ll try on every dress in the shop
Just to hide behind the screen of my laptop
And stay inside avoiding the raindrops that wash away my makeup
