Pepper's Ghost

I wouldn't say I'm innocent but I
I don't think I'm wrong
Though I'm sensing my opinion won't go very far

I wouldn't say it's blasphemy when there's
No one to demean
But I don't think that would change a bit
Of what you are

I think it's funny how your god speaks to you
And seems to bless the thing you already wanted to do

The violence in your heart
Sees demons in everyone
And it wouldn't change your mind
To see how the trick was done

Just a simple illusion meant to move
Move the story along
Though it doesn't seem like it changes the ending at all
Cause there's a kind of truth that you can serve
And one that serves for you
But I don't think its the truth that has you in it's thrall

And so I wonder which one came to you first
Was it the sword or was it the verse

The violence in your heart
Sees demons in everyone
And it wouldn't change your mind
To see how the trick was done

I understand you find this hard to believe
I never asked him to die for me

The violence in your heart
Sees demons in everyone
And it wouldn't change your mind
To see how the trick was done
I don't believe
That you can't see the strings
But if it gets you some blood
You'll gladly kiss the ring
