Smoke and mirrors

All smoke and mirrors down here where they speak with tied tongues
These words burnt to ashes to bury all that has been done
Illiterate animals reciting history lie
Twisting our tongues til these words lose all meaning and die

I spy with my little eye
A doorway so strange
Curious and curiouser
A force to derange
Dark draws me in
Fear promts realisation - I’m locked in this body
And I can’t see the light anymore

All smoke and mirrors down here where they speak with tied tongues
These words burnt to ashes to bury all that has been done
Illiterate animals reciting history lie
Twisting our tongues til these words lose all meaning and die

Trapped in here by the guards
With hollows for eyes
Repulsion and attraction rip men
Into these halves
Dark draws me in
Fear promts realisation - I’m locked in this body
And I can’t see the light anymore

All smoke and mirrors down here where they speak with tied tongues
These words burnt to ashes to bury all that has been done
Illiterate animals reciting history lie
Twisting our tongues til these words lose all meaning and die
