Smoke and Mirrors - Poets Of The Fall

I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth

We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth

But there was no harmony there

No reason for coexistence

Nothing to span the distance, now

Do we even know who we are

Living like all life is forfeit

Like we can just go redefine it

Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars

With our intellectual gambits

Our millionaire flair and our antics

We’re like mirrors seen through smoke

I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace

Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways

But there was no loyalty to hope

And funny the need for mercy

How it makes us bleed all mercy, now

Do we even know who we are

Living like all life is forfeit

Like we can just go redefine it

Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars

With our intellectual gambits

Our millionaire flair and our antics

We’re like mirrors seen through smoke

Now the melody’s void of sympathy

Cos that shit’s in byte size bits on YouTube

So tell me what am I supposed to do

When the malady’s no remedy

Till we reach the lowest absolute

And necessity will finally force something through what’s walling you

Do we even know who we are

Living like all life is forfeit

Like we can just go redefine it

Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars

With our intellectual gambits

Our millionaire flair and our antics

We’re like mirrors seen through smoke
