Alchemy

I’m afraid sometimes

If I’m honest

I’m a little fragile

I’m a little haunted

The moon watches silent

And still I feel so daunted

I guess it’s always been this way

I felt a change in me

A shifting periphery

Some kind of alchemy

Some kind of magic

I wished for a heart of gold

Never let myself unfold

Never let my feelings show

Built instead a heart of steel

Ran away from what I feel

Don’t want to need

Don’t want to bleed

Just want to hide from what is real

I felt a change in me

A shifting periphery

Some kind of alchemy

Some kind of magic

My heart is a fractured thing

With many a broken piece

But I think I could believe

In you and your alchemy

Fell like a curtain

Fell to my knees

Nothing is certain

But somehow I’m free

Fell like a curtain

Fell to my knees

Nothing is certain

But somehow I’m free

We are written in the stars

We are written in the stars

I felt a change in me

Some kind of alchemy

Some kind of magic

My heart is a fractured thing

With many a shattered piece

But I think I could believe

In you and your alchemy

So shines the sun

And so I know

Just as above

Then so below
