I had it going my way 
Didn’t need any relief 
And I couldn’t feel the sting of sin 
Tell me why should I believe 
If I thought that ya wouldn’t judge me 
Maybe then I would listen 
It’s my soul that you’re playing with 
Why do you condemn me

Now that it’s all so clear 
I can see thru your smoke & mirrors 
I can’t wait to see when the sword destroys my enemy 
And rips these chains from my life and sets me free 
This is not a dream, not a fantasy 
It’s very real for you & me 
Things aren’t what they always seem 
Smoke & mirrors

Things aren’t what they always seem 
As they become a hazed reflection 
You must go on out and clear the smoke 
You must shatter all the mirrors

And I thought I knew it all 
I thought I knew everything 
But now that I have found my maker 
There’s only one path that I’ll take 
I have learned to throw away 
All the filth that leaves me stained 
I have choked the burdened world 
Why can you let me be 

Now that it’s all so clear 
I can see thru your smoke & mirrors 
I can’t wait to see when the sword destroys my enemy 
And rips these chains from my life and sets me free 
This is not a dream, not a fantasy 
It’s very real for you & me 
Things aren’t what they always seem 
Smoke & mirrors
