Deception (OTW)
One thing I really love to do
Is to play my guitar
On the beach with no shoes
My toes in the sand
My guitar in my hands
On those bright summer nights
Look up at those tiny white lights
Gaze towards the heavens
Pray for a vision
Wonder if it ever ends
Nothing's ever as it seems
The wizard of oz isn't really green
He's just a man behind a machine
Pushing buttons, flipping switches
Levers and things
To portray something greater
Stronger than he
Than he could ever
Dream to be
Search for some reality
Some truth in this insanity
Music is what comforts me
Songs I know familiarity
They guide me through
They help me see
That nothing's ever as it seems
The wizard of oz isn't really green
He's just a man behind a machine
Pushing buttons, flipping switches
Levers and things
To portray something greater
Stronger than he
Than he could ever
Dream to be
It's hard to see who's swinging at me
When everybody's hiding
Behind a mask for safety
But they are really
Just as lost as you and me
They've just forgotten
They've lost their vision
Those masks have taken over them
But I'll find my way
Out on this beach today
Gaze towards the heavens
Pray for some vision
I'll get a new plan of action
Carry it out with no distractions
Cause nothing's ever as it seems
The wizard of oz isn't really green
He's just a man behind a machine
Pushing buttons, flipping switches
Levers and things
To portray something greater
Stronger than he
Than he could ever
Dream to be
Take off your mask
I've taken off mine
Put it on the shelf
Portray yourself nothing else
No more deception
Only reflections
Of what lies on the other side
Of all the shit you hide behind
Nothing's ever as it seems
The wizard of oz isn't really green
He's just a man behind a machine
Pushing buttons, flipping switches
Maybe he's picking strings
To portray something greater
Stronger than he
Than he could ever
Dream to be
One thing that I really love to do
Is to play my guitar
On the beach with no shoes
Is to play my guitar
On the beach with no shoes
My toes in the sand
My guitar in my hands
On those bright summer nights
Look up at those tiny white lights
Gaze towards the heavens
Pray for a vision
Wonder if it ever ends
Nothing's ever as it seems
The wizard of oz isn't really green
He's just a man behind a machine
Pushing buttons, flipping switches
Levers and things
To portray something greater
Stronger than he
Than he could ever
Dream to be
Search for some reality
Some truth in this insanity
Music is what comforts me
Songs I know familiarity
They guide me through
They help me see
That nothing's ever as it seems
The wizard of oz isn't really green
He's just a man behind a machine
Pushing buttons, flipping switches
Levers and things
To portray something greater
Stronger than he
Than he could ever
