Magnificent - Silverman

Take a breath now deep and slow

Hands behind your back

Turn your eyes up to the sky

Space is where its at

I think I need some peace and quiet

Remember to shut your mouth

Calm down think before you speak

You’re spilling your guts again

Oh no, look the world

Exposing myself like a windscreen shield

Forget the poetry that you were forced to learn when you were seventeen

Rewrite the books your father read when he was half your age

Can’t do you any harm

Can’t get any worse

I know that this is wrong

But it is real

Its what I like the best

You could take your heart out my mouth

But it won’t make any difference

Blindfold your eyes against the sun

If you stare for too long

You’re wide-eyed and innocent

Wide eyed and magnificent

I am jealous of myself

For getting the attention

I know that makes me selfish

But I’m feeling indifferent

You’ll never know that I am sitting here in your clothes

See how close I can get

Before we touch

Take a breath now deep and slow

Hands behind your back

Turn your eyes up to the sky

Space is where its at
