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
