Smoke and Mirrors

Mirror mirror on the wall Say you're the fairest of em' all If that's the truth than fair just ain't for me Mirror staring back at me The only thing that I can see Is false hope and insecurity Fallen short of grace again A broken shell of a man The only thing I lay down at your feet He's tried and tried to float ashore To somewhere never been before The wind and waves are something he can't beat Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear But I know who you are Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame I searched near and far I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn Mirror mirror can't you see You're not the man I want to be There's something in your eyes I don't believe I cast a stone upon your face Shattered glass across the place That held me back from where I'm supposed to be Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear But I know who you are Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame I searched near and far I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn I'm burnin' bridges to the north I'm burnin' bridges to the south I bite my tongue to keep the words from my pouring out my mouth Well I've learned to hide my feelings Suppress the pain and hurt That's something that I'll carry til' I'm six feet in the dirt Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear But I know who you are Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame I searched near and far I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors something has to burn, burn, burn
