I'm The Magician

Do I have your attention now?
I've performed my tricks and
Have you believing in perfection.
I've made my sins disappear
Right before your very eyes.
Where have they gone, you ask?
You see, that's the trick.
I still have them.
They still infest me.
Fill my heart, my mind
My very soul.
You see, I'm the magician.
I can see your weakness
Your faults
Your thoughts.
I can call you out on them.
Just as easily as those little card tricks
I like to pull on you.
Make you think that I'm in control.
Because i can see right through you.
I don't want to
That's just how I was born.
WHY i was born.
I hide behind my magic acts
My illusions of the perfection that isn't really there.
I have you fooled.
I won't tell you my tricks.
Because, they are mine and mine alone.
But, you see they really happen.
I make them happen.
Because, you see, I'm the magician.
