Salem - Smoke & Mirrors Lyrics

One year away, one year has passed
The smoke and mirrors have damaged my faith and trust in you,
To understand my dreams, you threw it away
A blind eye to the signs
Has ruined the taste of this tired game

[Chorus]
You tried to hold this night so tight,
But no no no, I'm tired of this fight
I'm tired it's over, over
My hands have been in chains
I'm tired it's over, over!
And once you feel the same you'll understand

So turn back all the clocks and set your sight
Tell me do your wrists feel right?
With blood mixed in your pain,
Once they heal you won't feel the same
And this mishapen road, will let you go, why don't you go?
Step back, leave me now, please leave me now, my thoughts are sour
I'm scared of what I'll do tonight,
With clouded thoughts of angered spite

[Chorus]

That this is make believe
This argument achieves nothing but the worst towards everything,
We fought so hard now,
So dry your pretty eyes
They're sparkling tonight
Through the pain and shame and even though we are through
I still feel the same, I still feel the same
I can't ignore that we don't work
The only thing I do is hurt and,
Tear apart your fragile heart
And leave you needing more from silence
Every time we take a fall we can't get up and,
Every time you need it all, I offer nothing
I never am and never was
Strong enough to cradle all your love!
