[Verse 1] Smoke and mirrors Something to see~ Inhale your poison Feel like I’m free~ I should know better now But I let you underneath somehow You start a fire, bring me to my knees Then disappear before I feel the heat~ [Pre-Chorus] You disappear But never leave I taste you every time I breathe~ [Chorus] Smoke and mirrors Watch you disappear~ Mist in the air until it clears But the scent remains~ Smoke and mirrors You’re haunting me Gone before I know you’re gone Still burning underneath~ [Post-Chorus] Smoke~ Smoke~ Still burning underneath~ [Verse 2] Here, then gone You do it every time Curl around my lungs Then slip right out of sight My magic act My disappearing dove Every time I call it over You come back and call it love~ [Pre-Chorus] You disappear But never leave I taste you every time I breathe~ [Chorus] Smoke and mirrors Watch you disappear~ Mist in the air until it clears But the scent remains~ Smoke and mirrors You’re haunting me Gone before I know you’re gone Still burning underneath~ [Post-Chorus] Smoke~ Smoke~ Still burning underneath~ [Bridge: Half-Time, Building] Third degree From something I can’t see How can something disappear And still leave scars on me? No flame No warning Nothing left to prove Just smoke inside my lungs And the ghost of you~ [Instrumental Break: Dirty Guitar] [Breakdown: Stripped Vocal] Smoke~ Smoke~ Fade away~ I watch you turn to grey~ Here, then gone Gone again But I still breathe you in~ [Final Chorus: Full Band] SMOKE AND MIRRORS WATCH YOU DISAPPEAR~ Mist in the air until it clears BUT THE SCENT REMAINS~ Smoke and mirrors You’re haunting me Gone before I know you’re gone STILL BURNING UNDERNEATH~ [Final Chorus Extension] Smoke and mirrors You’re testing me No flame left But I’m third degree You disappear But never leave Every breath I take Brings you back to me~ [Outro: Vocal + Guitar] My magic act My third degree Like smoke and mirrors You’re gone from me~
