Scroobius Pip - Magician's Assistant lyrics

[Scroobius Pip] It's tragic, you tried to cut yourself in half But this ain't magic In fact it's something far more dark, or more dramatic Self harm, that's what they call it Cause it just affects you It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do And if one day you can't reign it in And of your last breath you are the only witness Then so be it, cause it's your last breath And it's nobody else's business But, how about your little sister? I mean, you think your life's been bad And by no means am I belittling that Cause I know the troubles you've had But a teen finding out her big sister chose d**h over life Finding out instead of turning to her with your problems, You turned to a knife That's a whole lot of pain to deal with And a whole lot of damage And the only role model she has now is little more than words engraved in granite But as you said before, this just affects you It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do And if one day you can't reign it in And of your last breath you are the only witness Then so be it, cause it's your last breath And it's nobody else's business But then, how about your parents? God knows they've done all they can to support Yeah, you didn't grow up in a mansion But they gave you the best life they could afford And the second that last bit of life trickles out And your lungs cease to breath They've failed the most important task that they will ever receive They failed to give their child a life that's worth living And that's a failure as long as they live, of themselves, is unforgiving But as you said before, this just affects you It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do And if one day you can't rein it in And of your last breath you are the only witness Then so be it, cause it's your last breath And it's nobody else's business But, how about your friends? How did they fail to see this coming? I mean, you can only hold so much pain And recently it seems like the tap's been left running Families grow distant, but it's meant to be your friends you can rely on They shouldn't be there for just fun and drinks They should be the shoulder to cry on They should be the ones you turn to When you can't talk to your family But they failed to because although you didn't ask for their support It should have been mandatory But as you said before, this just affects you It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do And if one day you can't rein it in And of your last breath you are the only witness Then so be it, cause it's your last breath And it's nobody else's business But then, what about me? What kind of boyfriend am I? Instead of living a life I was a big part of You would rather die Instead of fighting though together And turning things around You decided the gra** is greener On the other side of the ground Of our shared lives there was nothing worth living for as far as you could see So if that's the case for you Then what is there left in this life for me? But as you said before, this just affects you It's your life, your body, your sister, your parents, your friends, and your partner So you can choose what you do And if one day you can't rein it in And of your last breath you are the only witness Then f** everybody else cause that ain't something you've got to live with The magician's a**istant Too many problems to list them Not enough people to listen The magician's a**istant.... The magician's a**istant......
