Illusionist
I met a man
With crooked bones
A tattered suit, a tilted hat
Misunderstood
Aside from his twisted little smile
To be fair
This grinning ghost covered in dust
Was quite a sight
To fall upon unsuspecting eyes
He said
Fate showed me
Your destiny
Your heart, my friend
I sat and smiled
As I watched
All my desires
All my thoughts
Taking shape on stage
In a scene like fantasies
I can't believe
How easily I'd been deceived
Every move he made was just another lie
I said
Illusionist
My hope is long dead
Like you, my friend
Sights and sounds
All the sleights and clowns
What a show
Go on, make it all feel worse now
Fuel the fire that burns me
Show me how great it could've been
Tell me how the sky was only there
To hold me down
Hold me down
You blindside the bruise of blind faith
So stand and look death in my face
Dead man, don't whisper my name
I said
Illusionist
My hope is long dead
My fate showed you all wrong, my friend
With crooked bones
A tattered suit, a tilted hat
Misunderstood
Aside from his twisted little smile
To be fair
This grinning ghost covered in dust
Was quite a sight
To fall upon unsuspecting eyes
He said
Fate showed me
Your destiny
Your heart, my friend
I sat and smiled
As I watched
All my desires
All my thoughts
Taking shape on stage
In a scene like fantasies
I can't believe
How easily I'd been deceived
Every move he made was just another lie
I said
Illusionist
My hope is long dead
Like you, my friend
Sights and sounds
All the sleights and clowns
What a show
Go on, make it all feel worse now
Fuel the fire that burns me
Show me how great it could've been
Tell me how the sky was only there
To hold me down
Hold me down
You blindside the bruise of blind faith
So stand and look death in my face
Dead man, don't whisper my name
I said
Illusionist
My hope is long dead
My fate showed you all wrong, my friend
