Testo 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
