Smoke & Mirrors

I have this dream

I'm alone on a stage

Tied to a string

I'm just part of your play

And you won't even look at me

I do the impossible

To make it worthwhile

You chalk it up

To a trick of the light

And you won't even look at me

You see it all, but you don't believe

'Cause it's no fun

When they're all laughing

A packed house

You're the one skeptic

Who can't see what everyones sees

It's a standing ovation and you're in your seat

This is my show

But it's your circus

I'm dressed up

And it's all worthless

'Cause you don't know how to believe

All that you see

Is the smoke and the mirrors in me

Trying to love you

Just makes me feel small

I'm up on a tightrope

You don't care at all

Are you having a ball

Holding me in your palm?

Would it kill you to just play along?

'Cause it's no fun

When they're all laughing

A packed house

You're the one skeptic

Who can't see what everyones sees

It's a standing ovation and you're in your seat

This is my show

But it's your circus

I'm dressed up

And it's all worthless

'Cause you don't know how to believe

All that you see

Is the smoke and the mirrors in me

The smoke in the mirrors in me

This is my show

But it's your circus

I'm dressed up

And it's all worthless

'Cause oh

All that you see

Is the smoke and the mirrors in me
