Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics

Mirror mirror on the wall

Say you're the fairest of em' all

If that's the truth than fair just ain't for me

Mirror staring back at me

The only thing that I can see

Is false hope and insecurity

Fallen short of grace again

A broken shell of a man

The only thing I lay down at your feet

He's tried and tried to float ashore

To somewhere never been before

The wind and waves are something he can't beat

Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear

But I know who you are

Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame

I searched near and far

I don't know where to go

I don't know where to turn

Through smoke and mirrors

Something has to burn

Mirror mirror can't you see

You're not the man I want to be

There's something in your eyes

I don't believe

I cast a stone upon your face Shattered glass across the place

That held me back from where I'm supposed to be

Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear

But I know who you are

Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame

I searched near and far

I don't know where to go

I don't know where to turn

Through smoke and mirrors

Something has to burn

I don't know where to go

I don't know where to turn

Through smoke and mirrors

Something has to burn

I'm burnin' bridges to the north

I'm burnin' bridges to the south

I bite my tongue to keep the words from my pouring out my mouth

Well I've learned to hide my feelings

Suppress the pain and hurt

That's something that I'll carry til' I'm six feet in the dirt

Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear

But I know who you are

Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame

I searched near and far

I don't know where to go

I don't know where to turn

Through smoke and mirrors

Something has to burn

I don't know where to go

I don't know where to turn

Through smoke and mirrors something has to burn, burn, burn
