Smoke and Mirrors

You ain't got the slightest hint who you're with
You ain't been enlightened yet, you're remiss
I gave away life secrets, you were sick that day
Fighting with the shooting star wish that came true
But it's blending in with the pay roads
You end up on again
And it takes a toll when you can't see ahead
'Cause the pay road's only one up out the many that's getting you there
And the easy route, gave in
Never repaired, what you read about saving
Everyone's fair share, ripped out pages
Never aware there's missed out information all around
The writing's on your wall
But still somehow you try to wipe it off
I made you, now I'm not invited, not a call
I changed you, found where your life went wrong, but

I gave you magic
You came and vanished
Okay that's a bad trick
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes
And you claim what happened
Ain't really what happened
Oh really, then how then
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes

So I guess that last record got your neck, then
Put you in a chokehold, obvious that
Something in it spoke to you albeit
Pick someone to discount and I'll be it
Ride's over, dismount, you ran out of tickets
Dipping into mine when you ran out of business
Different kind of mindset, we pay attention
This is an environment you ain't gonna fit in
So wait right here to get your shit fixed
And stay quiet if you never listen
It's hate crimes you call an opinion
And fake fights, you fall in the pit again
That means you still lose
Created the battle yourself yet you still lose
Doesn't matter, I'll tell you where the issue's really at
I'll help you see the real view

I gave you magic
You came and vanished
Okay that's a bad trick
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes
And you claim what happened
Ain't really what happened
Oh really, then how then
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes

You really got away this time
No I don't hate you, it's fine
Hate won't change you
I'm hoping that the message gets through though (smoke and mirrors hide them eyes)
And you really found a way inside
Kept feeling okay in mind
Left healing to wait in disguise
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes

I gave you magic
You came and vanished
Okay that's a bad trick
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes
And you claim what happened
Ain't really what happened
Oh really, then how then
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes

Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes
Them gazes staring slow
But underneath the haze (escape)
There's a low
Smoke and mirrors hide them eyes
Smoke and mirrors, hide them eyes
Smoke and mirrors, hide them eyes
