I know what you want
It's easy to see
I know what you need, it isn't me
I'm different than you dream

Things are not as they seem
Not as they appear to us
It's only smoke and mirrors

And down by the gates
Our enemies waits
Let's make our escape before it's too late
I know this isn't what we planned

But try to understand
If you get the shivers
It's only smoke and mirrors

The jokers are wild
Heartless as a child
So who is the man behind the mask
I know you shouldn't have to ask

And as we disappear
Can anyone hear us?
It's only smoke and mirrors
