I had it going my way

Didn’t need any relief

And I couldn’t feel the sting of sin

Tell me why should I believe

If I thought that ya wouldn’t judge me

Maybe then I would listen

It’s my soul that you’re playing with

Why do you condemn me

Now that it’s all so clear

I can see thru your smoke & mirrors

I can’t wait to see when the sword destroys my enemy

And rips these chains from my life and sets me free

This is not a dream, not a fantasy

It’s very real for you & me

Things aren’t what they always seem

Smoke & mirrors

Things aren’t what they always seem

As they become a hazed reflection

You must go on out and clear the smoke

You must shatter all the mirrors

And I thought I knew it all

I thought I knew everything

But now that I have found my maker

There’s only one path that I’ll take

I have learned to throw away

All the filth that leaves me stained

I have choked the burdened world

Why can you let me be

Now that it’s all so clear

I can see thru your smoke & mirrors

I can’t wait to see when the sword destroys my enemy

And rips these chains from my life and sets me free

This is not a dream, not a fantasy

It’s very real for you & me

Things aren’t what they always seem

Smoke & mirrors
