Smoke and Mirrors Lyrics by Mellowood

Cotton Candy Skies

2019

[Intro]
Now I see what you saw
Now I'm never coming back
I'm finally lost
Beneath the surface of the facts
I'll ride on the waves
They'll take me to another place
It's time to go away
I hope you understand someday
[Verse 1]
Uh, man I can't understand now
All my world's falling out of my hands now
All my world's getting harder to stand now
I guess putting up with this is the plan now
All this blood on my hands
And I don't even know where it's from
But I can't wash it off like a stain on a wall
Try to stand but I fall
And everyone's saying it's my fault
And I know that it ain't
But I hate that I care what you think
'Bout the lies that you spit through your teeth
Sticks and stones come and go
But it's words that ain't ever leave me
But I'm done letting you take the lead
And I'm done living under the mask that you see
If you wanna cross me we can meet in the street
It's gon' be a straight K.O. like i'm young Apollo Creed (igh)
[Verse 2]
I can see all of the lies you've told
Look at me in the eyes tell me honestly
You ever tried to keep pulling your weight in gold
Feel it deep in my soul 'cause the truth be told
[Hook]
I feel my lungs are turning black now
I can't seem to breathe
Got scars up on my back now
From what you've done to me
You can try break me
You can give me all you've got
But you will never make me
Become someone who I'm not
[Verse 3]
I'm not gonna lie
I don't really know who I am yet
But I know that I won't fill the shoes that you stand in
And I won't live a day on your planet
The smoke that you blew in my lungs, man it hurt
But I now breathe it in, just for fun, know my worth
When you see all the wars that I won, I'm a new man
Forget the boy that I was
I'm a king in the making
Just give me ten years and a couple yerba matés and you bet
I'll have the world for the taking
And it ain't through a front that I'm faking
Uh, I've spent enough years thinking 'bout all the tears
That I cried 'cause of you and your games
Well, we're done and it won't be the same
Baby I'm a match, and it's time for the flame
[Verse 4]
Someday I hope that the world will remember my name
For the truth I've brought to life
One day I know that the world will be born from the flames
Of a billion broken minds
[Verse 5]
It's the dawn of a world on fire
Making way for a new empire
Listen up for the sound of the choir
Screaming out to make it burn a little brighter
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 6]
It's the dawn of a new generation
Break the chains of an old foundation
If you wanna start a true revolution
You gotta be the one to show 'em what you're made of
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
[Outro]
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
