Theo Nightshade - Sleight of Hand Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smoke and mirrors in this game we play
Behind the curtain where the shadows sway
They want my soul but I ain't for sale
Smooth-talking suits with their same old tale

[Chorus]
It's just a sleight of hand, baby
They're dealing from the bottom, driving me crazy
Got their fingers in my art, trying to make me dance
But I'm nobody's puppet, this ain't romance

[Verse 2]
Elena's got her plans, Marcus shows his cards
Playing politics while I'm breaking hearts
They say compromise, I say hell no
Got my own vision, my own damn show

[Bridge]
In these smoke-filled rooms
Where deals go down
Keep my poker face
While they play their crown
Can't buy my sound
Won't sell my ground

[Verse 3]
Every handshake feels like quicksand
Every contract's got a hidden plan
But I've learned their tricks, studied every move
Got my own ace hidden in this groove

[Chorus]
It's just a sleight of hand, baby
They're dealing from the bottom, driving me crazy
Got their fingers in my art, trying to make me dance
But I'm nobody's puppet, this ain't romance

[Outro]
Watch me play this game my way
Let the music speak what I can't say
In the end, the truth will shine
Through every note, every line
This is mine, all mine
