The Present ft. Vee Authari Lyrics

When you stumbled into me by both choice and chance

You thought I could be many things

I'm nobody, really

Just a magician, learning their tricks

Those I can show you though

You can read my mind, you're pretty good at that

I'm thinking of time off from the collar around my neck

Freedom from the whale in my chest

Healing from the scars

Life laid to rest

In my next show

I entertain you with the magic of

Changing rain into dew drops that glisten with a smile

Pulling out laughter straight from your thinning lips

And making clocks faster when you're with me

I shouldn't be surprised

You're a magician after all

It's easy to wander in your laughter, brighter than birth

To flutter into your eyes, gilded stars and mystic Earth

Yet I know you best through the pain you lay bare

I'll make promises to keep

Heavens in which you can sleep

Bring down mountains for their peaks

I hope you're my last round in the ring

No need for tricks or sleight of hands

No illusions or light that bends

You've already breathed life into the dead

What Gods have power, when it comes to us?

May tradition yield and angels tip their halos

As we gift ourselves a vow towards the unknown

My little pebble, my grand wizard

A life with you will do
