Deception Lyrics by Plum Nelly

Deceptive Lines

0

Flickering light of a fire
Why must you be such a fool and a liar?
Casting your wand to believe
But just then, you turn and then burn to deceive
Oh great pretender
Oh you villainous faker
Why do you tease me so?
Again and again, don't you know?
Me, I'm aware of the movement
That plots every course
Knowing the devil is calling me
And still I will follow
Stealing my world, leading me blind
Stealing, stealing away my whole world, you are
Leading, leading me stone blind
Far away from my conception of how it should be
I think I'm about to fade, my my my my my my
Fantasies dancing about
Dressed in their usual see-through gowns
Stepping their fanciful way
Keeping in time to a tune of the day
Fasten your shocker
Unless you'd be shattered
By the one and only black charader
Known as the one and only dream breaker
Single filing, awaited neighboring
All together, we'll face the phony masquerade
Of those who created the rainmaker's holiday
So many changes are coming with white
Fleeting moments of emotion are grabbing at me
With glimpses of your light
And I'm not aware, oh I used to, used to be
I think I'm about to melt into someone else's
Half-baked fantasy they dreamed of
Flickering light of a fire
Why must you be such a fool and a liar?
Casting your wand to believe
But just then, you turn and then burn to deceive
Oh great pretender
You villainous faker
Tell me why do you want to tease me so?
Again and again, don't you know?
Me, I'm aware of the movement
That plots, that plots every course
Knowing the devil is calling me
And still I will fall
You're stealing my world, leading me blind
Stealing, stealing away my whole world
Leading, leading me stone blind
And all the while
Whatever that seemed to be there
Anticipating the next step
When you never took your first
Setback machine is stripping me dirty
Oh this limbo existence can't be forever
I'm aware of it sometimes and I've
I've just got to move on down the line
Oh keep on moving, yeah move on, yeah
Move on down the line
I've got to move on down the line
Oh move on, move on
Oh keep on moving, I've got to
When I feel all right, well
My my my my, my my my my
When I feel, I'm feeling good
Ah, all right, all right
All right, all right
All right, all right, well
It all depends on you
Don't you deceive me
