Lyrics

Sandbox Magician

[Intro]

Now who's the fool?

[Verse 1]

Strip it off, and scale the wall

I am the mask that talks, inside the concrete flesh

I am the king, now tell me nothing

I am the fool for a day

Concrete playground, hides the valley

Make me the king, so I can strip it off

[Verse 2]

Who is the fool today?

Friend?

A new idea from your stagnant mind

And you must always fall before the clown

[Outro]

I can beat you (I can beat you)

I can cheat you (I can cheat you)

Can I be you?
