Smoke and Mirrors (feat. Stylz) - Antonio Fixx

I never meant to call you out I've always seen behind your smoke and mirrors Oh sweetheart, please don't yell at me It really isn't hard to see The truth that's rotting underneath Why weren't you honest from the start? You know, I've always thought she must have liked you She's just a temptress, don't you know She'll say she loves you, even though She only wants to steal your soul I'll save you You said you'd always be my friend That we'd get married when we both got older I'd never heard those words before You made me long for something more But then she tried to steal your love What's with that look? Do you really think I'm out of mind tonight? Stop calling her name If you play my game She may just make it out alive I love you I'm not asking much, just give me your heart And put no one else above me Go on, just say you love me Take my hand in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one Without you, my life means nothing So just say you love me tonight And if you lie This poor girl will have to die I'm sorry that I lost my cool As you can see here, I've been very busy I found her number in your phone Asked her to meet me here alone So we could talk, just one on one What's with that look? Do you really think I'm taking this too far? All you have to do Is swear that you'll be true And I will let her go right now Just don't lie No, I won't fall for this again I'll always see behind your smoke and mirrors I know you love me deep inside You're simply caught up in her lie So I will cut you free myself I'm not asking much, just give me your heart And put no one else above me Please, just say you love me Take my hands in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one Without you, my life means nothing So just say you love me C'mon, what's the problem, quit your crying, be a man Surely, she couldn't mean that much Let me give you my love Take my soul, my heart, and body, yes, I give it all to you And if you still won't accept it You're gonna regret it I hate to play these games But you're driving me insane Won't you tell me that you'll stay Now that she's not in the way?

Mirror mirror on the wall Say you're the fairest of em' all If that's the truth than fair just ain't for me Mirror staring back at me The only thing that I can see Is false hope and insecurity Fallen short of grace again A broken shell of a man The only thing I lay down at your feet He's tried and tried to float ashore To somewhere never been before The wind and waves are something he can't beat Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear But I know who you are Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame I searched near and far I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn Mirror mirror can't you see You're not the man I want to be There's something in your eyes I don't believe I cast a stone upon your face Shattered glass across the place That held me back from where I'm supposed to be Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear But I know who you are Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame I searched near and far I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn I'm burnin' bridges to the north I'm burnin' bridges to the south I bite my tongue to keep the words from my pouring out my mouth Well I've learned to hide my feelings Suppress the pain and hurt That's something that I'll carry til' I'm six feet in the dirt Smoke and mirrors aren't crystal clear But I know who you are Fool of shame, self-doubt, self-blame I searched near and far I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors Something has to burn I don't know where to go I don't know where to turn Through smoke and mirrors something has to burn, burn, burn

Burn a bridge, blow up a car Torch a flag, I'd bear the scar Hustle for peace, settle for less Fundamentals make their bets The battle lost is irony Damming down, what's in it for me? Out for lunch, I felt the weight Believing everything I've read Getting closer Don't you feel closer? This gaping monster of apathy Tell me man, what is it to be? There's freedom of choice, a choice or not? There's so much to lose, many have not The pressure builds, anger grows Blows the lid as it overthrows Blind rage, counting death Moving orders, lost the town Getting closer Getting closer Getting closer How far from closer? Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah Gas or electric fuel Noah's Ark This is where I get off, fools disembark Left behind in paper and pen Revolution invents again We're free as far as we can throw the key A prison of reason makes room for me Strike a chord, hit a nerve Not fit for purpose or to serve Well, is it a bird? Is it a drone? A violent peace protects our home Talking robots are on the calls Self deluded on a smart dumb phone Why cast a spell when you can send a text? Mesmerized and we've all been hexed Now the targets where we shop I'm overdosing as the penny drops And it's getting closer Don't you feel closer? Getting closer Far from closer Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah Closer Closer No sir Don't you feel Closer? Closer No sir! Don't you feel Closer? Come a little closer Don't you feel Closer?

Forbidden Image Do you care to think on One trouble shooter That we could fix on This fevered globe Was always meant to be A home from home But who's looking after Lose face, lose face In your place Could we all fight in An age demented With a white bright light That shines at night What have we invented? We all breathe in the same air Yet we all die for the air space Lose face, lose face Standing in your place (Don't you worry that you're too scared) Lose face, lose face I bet you wonder if you're too scared Too scared to lose face (Don't you worry that you're too scared) Lose face, lose face in your place Lose it Lose it Come on Lose it Lose it A "pied a'terre" No phone connected So when you need him Can't even reach him This fevered globe Was always meant to be A home from home But who's looking after Lose face, lose face Standing in your place (Don't you worry that you're too scared) Lose face, lose face I bet you wonder if you're too scared Too scared to lose face (Don't you worry that you're too scared) Lose face, lose face in your place Lose it We all lose Lose it Breathing the same air (Repeat x 3)
