Five Crumbs - Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics

Cross off the days and see them get by
I'm chasing down illusions once possessed by
Like a secret we kept in the dark
How could we ever get this far
Never see the things that I don't wanna see
Afraid of what these words might reveal
Swallow these pills to numb all my feels
Am I the only person I can see in the mirror
Will there ever be a time I can see it all clear
Like everyone else afraid to face my fears
I gotta be a step ahead of the game
It's the only way to escape this place

Escape this place

When the smoke clears up
And mirrors fall down
We'll realize
It's nothing but smoke and mirrors

I swear to god one day it could be the death of me
I'm burning bridges to my past like it could set me free
Like a moth to the flame you're my kryptonite
I keep coming back caught in the crossfire

Caught in the crossfire

When the smoke clears up
And mirrors fall down
We'll realize
It's nothing but smoke and mirrors

You gotta take the long way down
To put back together the pieces
Of the shattered mirrors
And leave behind the fears

You gotta take the long way down
And put back together the pieces
Of the shattered mirrors
And leave behind your fears

When the smoke clears up
And mirrors fall down
We'll realize
It's nothing but smoke and mirrors
