Magicians Assistant Lyrics

Magicians Assistant by Dan Le Sac

• It's tragic; you tried to cut yourself in half,
• But this isn't magic; in fact it's something much more dark
• or more dramatic
• Self harm, that's what they call it.
• Cause it just affects you.
• It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do,
• And if one day you can't rein it in,
• And of your last breath you are the only witness,
• Then so be it, cause it's your last breath,
• And it's nobody else's business.
• But, how about your little sister?
• I mean, you think your life's been bad,
• And by no means am I belittling that,
• Cause I know the troubles you've had
• But a teen finding out her big sister chose death over life,
• Finding out instead of turning to her with your problems
• You turned to a knife
• That's a whole lot of pain to deal with,
• And a whole lot of damage
• And the only role model she has is little more
• than words engraved in granite.
• But as you said before, this just affects you.
• It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.
• And if one day you can't rein it in,
• And of your last breath you are the only witness,
• Then so be it, cause it's your last breath,
• And it's nobody else's business.
• But then, how about your parents?
• God knows they've done all they can to support.
• Yeah, you didn't go up in a mansion,
• But they gave you the best life they could afford,
• And the second that last bit of life tickles out,
• and your lungs cease to breath,
• They've fail the most important task that they will ever receive.
• They failed to give their child a life that's worth living,
• And that's a failure as long as they live, of themselves, is unforgiving.
• But as you said before, this just affects you.
• It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.
• And if one day you can't rein it in,
• And of your last breath you are the only witness,
• Then so be it, 'cause it's your last breath,
• And it's nobody else's business.
• But, how about your friends?
• How did they fail to see this coming?
• I mean, you can only hold so much pain,
• And recently it seems like the tap's been left running.
• Families grow distant, but it's meant to be your friends you can rely on.
• They shouldn't be there for just fun and drinks.
• They should be the shoulder to cry on.
• They should be the ones you turn to,
• When you can't talk to your family.
• But they failed to because although you didn't ask for their support,
• It should have been mandatory.
• But as you said before, this just affects you.
• It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.
• And if one day you can't rein it in,
• And of your last breath you are the only witness,
• Then so be it, 'cause it's your last breath,
• And it's nobody else's business.
• But then, what about me?
• What kind of boyfriend am I?
• Instead of living a life I was a big part of,
• You would rather die.
• Instead of fighting though together,
• And turning things around,
• You decided the grass is greener
• On the other side of the ground.
• Of our shared lives there was nothing worth
• living for as far as you could see.
• So if that's the case for you
• Then what is there left in this life for me?
• But as you said before, this just affects you.
• It's your life, your body, your sister, your parents,
• your friends, and your partner
• So you can choose what you do.
• And if one day you can't rein it in,
• And of your last breath you are the only witness,
• Then fuck everybody else cause that ain't
• something you’ve got to live with
• The magician's assistant
• Too many problems to list them,
• Not enough people to listen.
• The magician's assistant....
• The magician's assistant......
