Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This is my word, this is my way

Show me a sign, sweep me away

This is my word, heartbreaker, gatekeeper

I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there

[Verse 2]

Deep in my heart, deep in my mind

Take me away, take me away

This is my word, dream maker, life taker

Open up my mind

[Verse 3]

All I believe, is it a dream that comes crashing down on me?

All that I hope, is it just smoke and mirrors?

I wanna believe

But all that I know, is it just smoke and mirrors?

[Verse 4]

All that I've known, buildings of stone

Fall to the ground without a sound

This is my word, heartbreaker, gatekeeper

I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there

[Verse 5]

I'm starting to cave, I'm losing my flame

I wanted your truth but I wanted the pain

To disappear, dream maker, life taker

Open up my mind

[Verse 6]

All I believe, is it a dream that comes crashing down on me?

All that I hope, is it just smoke and mirrors?

I wanna believe

But all that I know, is it just smoke and mirrors?

[Verse 7]

Believe

I wanna believe

[Verse 8]

All I believe, is it a dream that comes crashing down on me?

All that I hope, is it just smoke and mirrors?

I want to believe

But all that I know, is it just smoke and mirrors?
