World Full of Smoke and Mirrors

[Verse] In a world that's full of smoke and mirrors We're searching for what truly matters Truth it dances on the breeze A subtle whisper through the trees [Verse 2] Counting stars in midnight skies Yet shadows cover truth with lies Look beyond the fleeting scenes Find the hidden in between [Chorus] Count once and only what belongs Anything else the concept wrongs It's not easy because things hide A second time to get inside [Bridge] Wading through the noise and chatter Finding gems that really matter Through the clutter we shall sail Truth revealed will tip the scale [Verse 3] Many voices fill the silence Whispered secrets break the violence Filter out the needless noise Hear the song in muted joys [Chorus] Count once and only what belongs Anything else the concept wrongs It's not easy because things hide A second time to get inside
