Smoke & Mirrors

from Boiling Point by Lobster House

/

lyrics

You try to look away
Hide your face from steely gaze
So much anger and hate it
feels like you just want an excuse to be irate

It always seemed so wrong
Why did it take this damn long
Confused with annoyance and anger
And I can’t help but see a pattern

So much smoke and mirrors
Can’t see what’s right in front of me
Let the fog roll away
I can finally see
All this smoke and mirrors
My head feels like a hurricane
Let the clouds roll away
I can finally feel sane

These things can become so hard
Life sometimes can beat you past your guard
Time could slow to a lull in
Situations out of my control
You can’t seem to listen to others
Stuck in your very own echo chamber
It’s like walking on eggshells with no shoes
And worst of all I think I got this from you

Can’t see through blinding light
Get lost in the corners of my mind
You don’t scare me any more
All these years trapped inside my head
Learning what it takes to not feel so dead
I’ve finally settled the score
Late nights no sleep dwell on my dreams
Consciousness lingering on the seam
I really fucking abhor
All this needless tension
You just need to pay attention

So much smoke and mirrors
Can’t see what’s right in front of me
Let the fog roll away
I can finally see
All this smoke and mirrors
My head feels like a hurricane
Let the clouds roll away
I can finally feel sane

Smoke and mirrors
Misty light in my stride
Hurricane in my head
Gives way to clear skies
