Lyrics :

(Mmm...)
(I used to believe in magic...)

There's a peculiar suffering that comes with being aware
A kind of exile that happens when you see through the air
Not when you leave the world, but when you truly see
You sit down to watch a movie everyone loves, and suddenly
You're analyzing the manipulation, the propaganda, the tired schemes
You're at a party, and instead of joy, you're lost in silent screams
Observing the social performance, the masks, the desperate need
The validation in every conversation, every word, every deed

You used to enjoy this thing, you remember when
A movie was just a movie, small talk didn't feel like a den
You could lose yourself in the moment without dissecting the play
But something changed, you woke up, and now you can't go back, can't stray

I'M WALKING DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD, AWAKE BUT DREAMING STILL
I SEE THE MAGIC DIED, BUT EVERYONE ELSE TAKES THE PILL
THEY SEE THE SPARKLE, I SEE THE WIRES, THEY DANCE, I WATCH THE FLOOR
I'M SURROUNDED BY A CROWD, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE DOOR
I USED TO BELIEVE IN MAGIC, NOW I SEE THE SLEIGHT OF HAND
I'M AWAKE IN A SLEEPING WORLD, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
WHY THE PRICE OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS LOSING SIMPLE JOY
WHY THE CHILD INSIDE ME DIED, AND LEFT THIS EMPTY BOY

Think about a child watching magic, their eyes light up with wonder
They believe completely, no analysis to plunder
Now think about you watching that same show, you see the trick
You appreciate the skill perhaps, but the magic makes you sick
This is what happens to conscious people with almost everything
You can't watch the news without seeing the agenda that they bring
You can't scroll through social media without seeing the performance
The carefully curated highlights, the desperate need for endorsement

You can't attend gatherings without feeling the weight
The polite lies, the surface connections, the fake debate
The veil has been lifted, you're left standing in the cold
In a world where everyone sees magic, while you just grow old

I'M WALKING DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD, AWAKE BUT DREAMING STILL
I SEE THE MAGIC DIED, BUT EVERYONE ELSE TAKES THE PILL
THEY SEE THE SPARKLE, I SEE THE WIRES, THEY DANCE, I WATCH THE FLOOR
I'M SURROUNDED BY A CROWD, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE DOOR
I USED TO BELIEVE IN MAGIC, NOW I SEE THE SLEIGHT OF HAND
I'M AWAKE IN A SLEEPING WORLD, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
WHY THE PRICE OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS LOSING SIMPLE JOY
WHY THE CHILD INSIDE ME DIED, AND LEFT THIS EMPTY BOY

This creates a profound loneliness, not of being alone
But of being awake in a world that's sleeping, on a throne
Of isolation, surrounded by people, yet feeling so far
You're experiencing a different reality, a different star
They are immersed in the movie, you're watching both the screen and the crowd
They are dancing, you're observing and wondering why they're so loud
You can't explain this to people without sounding arrogant or depressed
So you carry it silently, this weight upon your chest

SO I'LL WALK THIS LONELY ROAD, AWAKE BUT DREAMING STILL
I'VE ACCEPTED THE MAGIC DIED, AND I NEVER WILL
SEE THE WORLD THE WAY THEY DO, WITH INNOCENT EYES
I SEE THE MECHANICS, I SEE THE LIES, I SEE THE DISGUISE
BUT MAYBE THAT'S THE PRICE OF TRUTH, MAYBE THAT'S THE COST
To see the world as it really is, not what we've lost
I'm awake in a sleeping world, and I'll walk alone
But at least I see the truth, even if it's carved in stone

Awake but dreaming...
(Awake but dreaming...)
The magic died...
(The magic died...)
I walk alone...
(Alone...)
