[Verse]
Deceit to be unseen
My hands cover the lies
My ways, not shared nor found
Always under a dim light
Phasing in and out of sight
Fading into an outline
My prize, seemingly slight
Playing a trick on your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when you thought you had it
There I go and take it all away
Just when you thought you had it
There I go and take it away

[Chorus]
When you think you understand
You won't see my sleight of hand
A distraction's all I need
To take my mind off you
When life grows boring and bland
I'll make magic with my hands
It's a worthless skill indeed
But its all I can do
[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when you thought you had it
There I go and take it all away
Just when you thought you had it
There I go and take it away

[Chorus]
When you think you understand
You won't see my sleight of hand
A distraction's all I need
To take my mind off you
When life grows boring and bland
I'll make magic with my hands
It's a worthless skill indeed
But it's all I can do
