Where The Magic Goes(The Magical Secrets Hidden Within Their Systems)(beta)

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Gilded towers glow above the crowd

Nobody questions what the gold is hiding

Velvet smiles recite the script out loud

Solemn bows and gratitude deciding

[Pre-Chorus] Every year the bread gets thinner

Every year the price climbs higher

We clap our hands and thank the givers

While our homes are catching fire

[Instrumental Break] [Chorus] We don't ask where the magic goes

We just curtsy, we just smile

We don't ask what the council knows

We've been good for quite a while

[Post-Chorus] Smile, smile, keep it pretty

Smile, smile, for the city

[Verse 2] Behind closed doors they count the moonlit gold

Cut the cloth and lower every ration

Meanwhile on the street the wind blows cold

And the poorest learn to trade in patience

[Pre-Chorus] Every year the shoes wear through

Every year the shelves go bare

We rehearse our gratitude on cue

And pretend we're unaware

[Chorus] We don't ask where the magic goes

We just curtsy, we just smile

We don't ask what the council knows

We've been good for quite a while

[Post-Chorus] Smile, smile, keep it pretty

Smile, smile, for the city

[Bridge] I feel it humming underneath my feet

Something broken dressed in something sweet

Quiet question burning in my chest

Where does all the wonder rest

[Chorus] We don't ask where the magic goes

We just curtsy, we just smile

We don't ask what the council knows

We've been good for quite a while

[Post-Chorus] Smile, smile, keep it pretty

Smile, smile, for the city

[Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] We might ask where the magic goes

We might curtsy, we might rise

We might ask what the council knows

We've been patient all this time [End]
