I've been wearing all black

Since the day it started

When I stopped and looked back

As my mind departed

I've been losing sleep

And I cannot sit still

I'm not the same woman

That you were used to

I put my head underwater, baby

I threw my clothes away in the trash

I stood barefoot on the blazing concrete

I was waiting for the gut of the thunder

I don't wanna bore you with how I feel

But when the walls came down

The shit got real

I never thought I would ever be here

Looking out on my life

As if there was no there

I messed around with something I always hated

I took a blanket into the bath

Opened my eyes and hallucinated

I took a nap and woke up in the grass

There's a little bit of magic

Everybody has it

There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

My own mortality, I contemplated

Down in the valley I got hypnotized

It left a mark that hasn't faded

That's when I realized

There's a little bit of magic

Everybody has it

There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

There's a little bit of magic

Everybody has it

There's a little bit of fight left in the end

I put my head underwater, baby

I held my breath until it passed

Crossed my fingers and concentrated

I closed my eyes and I was free at last
