Smoke and Mirrors

Comatose, feed my head with liberty
I've got an appetite for deceit
I'm done, well done, stick a fork in me
Cover me in apathy, discreetly and distinct able
I am trying to break your heart
I'm plagued with doubt
No frogs or murdered first born

My thoughts are just a little sun burnt
Dismantle all that ever was
Strip it down: withdraw the blood

Something going to break real soon
Who's covering whose eyes?
Safety in knowing others' lies pulled by the strings of time

Hold me back: I'm going to throw it all down on the table
Do you expect us to believe in these fables?
Oh, what to do with you?
With you, with you, with you?
Hold me tight, it seems all I really have is in front of me
Is the rest just a dream or a fallacy?
Oh, what to do with you?
With you, with you, with you?

A throw back to all those 80's slasher flicks
You're a cheap killer, and I'm getting sick of it
God's dead, and all bets have waived their rights
All is fair in love and time, who wins the game of war?

Illusion, a delusion, a terrible secret
What one does see is another's lost prophet
Hold me close, I can see right through you
Challenge all you've ever heard
Incite the search and motivate

Something going to break real soon
Who's covering whose eyes?
Safety in knowing others' lies, pulled by the strings of time

Please read between the lines
A simple compromise between the sands of time
Please say with me, say with me...
