El Ilusionista

They always appear out of nowhere and make you the center of attention
The princess from a fairy tale, what luck, one in a million
Their words have so much energy they make you lose your mind
They hypnotize you with a glance
Lights, camera, action
And suddenly they let you open the door
They don’t close their eyes when you kiss them
It was just a dream and now you’re awake

They sell you the story that you’re the star
But they have more than one constellation
And the curtain rises and you don’t even suspect it
You’re just an extra in their fucking show
One scene and that’s it, their decoration
You feel a dagger in your heart
When you realize it’s all a lie
And that you were just another act of the illusionist

Arguing is a lost battle because they’re always right
You discover another hidden star
Lights, camera, action
All the spotlights turn back to you
One day, without asking, they gift you flowers
They know the speech to get you to forgive them

They sell you the story that you’re the star
But they have more than one constellation
And the curtain rises and you don’t even suspect it
You’re just an extra in their fucking show
One scene and that’s it, their decoration
You feel a dagger in your heart
When you realize it’s all a lie
And that you were just another act of the illusionist

An illusionist, you had me fooled
There are still scars from your disaster
I was the fool and you were the coward
You knew exactly what you were doing
If I had seen the lie
Maybe I wouldn’t be just another act of the illusionist
