Alchemy

Let me tell you about this thing I've learned
From a book
It's not the words
It's like how they come alive
When the story's in your mind
It's like when the smell of hay
Takes you back to that summer day
Travelling in time

So if you want to turn lead into gold
Or enter a whole new world
You don't need to change the story
Just the way it's told
A slightly different angle changes what you can see
That's true alchemy

A greyish painting seems lighter in a black frame
So tell me, who do you name
The hero or the villain
And who deserves the blame
The necklace he gave me is more precious than its stone
Tell me how
Call it love, now I'm a magician

So if you want to turn lead into gold
Or enter a whole new world
You don't need to change the story
Just the way it's told
A slightly different angle changes what you can see
That's true alchemy

You see
I am not your enemy
Nor am I reality
Do you dare to take control?

So if you want to turn lead into gold
Or enter a whole new world
You don't need to change the story
Just the way it's told
A slightly different angle changes what you can see
That's true alchemy
