ESCAPE VELOCITY with Howard Thrust - EP 58 - THEME: RocKtober Memorials

You`re A Magician

New single as promised!

Lyrics:

The shadow dresses me up and down with her eyes
I talk to her when I feel alone (and that's all the time)
Take away my right to cry
Replace it with the right to die
I'm alone - and she's my best friend

Self-reflection is for the weak
She hums with a lack of a smile
Take your stubbornness and hold it tight
Never try to win futile fights
I'm alone - and she's my best friend

The shades are drawn
There's no light
So why do I hear voices so - near?

She's My Best Friend

-argentina birds
