Wizard's Deceit

In the corner of my mind he stays (sneakin', a constant tease) Turnin’ my right-side-up days into disarray [Chorus] To everyone, I'm just spinnin' tales (talk of ghosts and smoke) 'bout that wizard in the night who veils (leavin' me to choke) They don't see the chaos in his wake But I feel the curse I just can’t shake He stirs the pot in my quiet life (hidden mage, oh) With his wand waves makin' trouble rife (can't cage the unknown) My friends all say I'm just talkin' jive That wizard's got my world in a spiral dive [Verse] He's elusive, but I swear he's real (cloak and mystery, yeah) Can't shake the magic that I feel (spells cast on me) In the shadow of the moon, he mocks (hidden laughter, sly) Twistin’ up my fate with paradox (no alibi) [Chorus] And they all laugh, say it’s in my head (whispers in the crowd) But the wizard's spell is my daily bread (heavy like a shroud) They're blind to the tricks up his sleeve To the web of deceit that he weaves
