Stars align in front of time
Eyes gleamin' with that shiny shine
Wax wings carry me
To the spotlight, to the balcony
Does it please you to draw from my warmth
To feed your pride, don't even lie
Cold to the touch when we should feel alive
What's pleasing to the eye is not what it seems
Green screens, mirrors, smoke in a dream
Watch for my hands, don't follow my eyes
Swayin' a little, sayin' a little
Et voilà, hypnotized
Pushed further towards the edge
My patience will cave in
Disguised by a void that my eyes can't map
Fell in the trap in the snow, turned too fast
My holograms of bliss weren't shaped like this
What's pleasing to the eye is not what it seems
Green screens, mirrors, smoke in a dream
Watch for my hands, don't follow my eyes
Let me make this clear, I'm prone to disappear
Dare I use my agency to pull out what is owed to me
Out standing on my own, outswam the undertow
Drain me of my energy, it won't run out if there's any
What's pleasing to the eye is not what it seems
Green screens, mirrors, smoke in a dream
Watch for my hands, don't follow my eyes
Swayin' a little, sayin' a little
Et voilà, hypnotized
