Smoke & Mirrors Lyrics

I don't want to go

I don't want to see

I don't want to sink

So I try to float

But that's in my dreams

And those I don't believe

Because I had no hope

Because I had no scheme

I never had a plan

And wasn't looking forward

Got my head turned back

Catch me hitting corners

Still been taking orders

Now with the brick and mortar

Did it all from scratch

And now I look ahead

Been dreaming down a different path

Look left to right before I crash

Now I sit back in the last place

Because I can't always lead

But I don't give a damn now

Oh, I tried to make it through the smoke and mirrors

But couldn't make it 'cause the only thing I fear is fear

We live life everyday to shed another tear

So hold your enemies close

And your family near

Oh, I tried to make it through the smoke and mirrors

But couldn't make it 'cause the only thing I fear is fear

We live life everyday to shed another tear

So hold your enemies close

And your family near

Running

Couldn't see the top

Watching

Staring at a clock

Never had the time

Never had the patience

Still I'm always waiting

Waiting on a payment

Want to jump my paygrade

But for now I maintain

Pay no mind

Waiting here inside

The cold, you bring

Don't want it in my life

Don't want to make it right

I've been on this long ride

Now I'm fried

But got a lot to live

And even more to say

Have a lot to grow

And even more to do

Like my point to prove

And get the world to move

So best start breaking borders

Or I can give some orders

And finally feel important

Break through all the boredom

Be apart of something gorgeous

Make my name enormous

Or just sit in the forest

Either way I'll be content and always keep it forward

Oh, I tried to make it through the smoke and mirrors

But couldn't make it 'cause the only thing I fear is fear

We live life everyday to shed another tear

So hold your enemies close

And your family near

Oh, I tried to make it through the smoke and mirrors

But couldn't make it 'cause the only thing I fear is fear

We live life everyday to shed another tear

So hold your enemies close

And your family near

Said I don't give a damn now

I've been one in the crowd, just one

Now I'm thinking out loud, can you hear me

Who I can never be

Who I will always be, same old me

And why I can never seem, to be at ease

To ever find some peace, or be free

We'll fly off in the breeze

Oh, I tried to make it through the smoke and mirrors

But couldn't make it 'cause the only thing I fear is fear

We live life everyday to shed another tear

So hold your enemies close

And your family near

Oh, I tried to make it through the smoke and mirrors

But couldn't make it 'cause the only thing I fear is fear

We live life everyday to shed another tear

So hold your enemies close

And your family near
