lyrics

I’m a rage in a kiddie pool
Or a lick from your pet
I’m totally exhausted by all of this and I haven’t even really done anything yet
Is it all that you wanted?
Am I all you expect?
I’ll just go ahead and leave this comment card laying here
And you can fill it out whenever you get a chance
Cause maybe its all smoke and mirrors
A dazzling sight to be seen
Maybe its all smoke and mirrors
But god I still want to believe
In you and your elegant ruse
Tell me a lie tailor made for a guy
Who has out grown truth
But maybe its all smoke and mirrors
I’ll play along, long as its free
Maybe its all smoke and mirrors
But god am I really this lonely?
Or have I been talking too much?
But if I don’t bite, you don’t eat, bud
Throw me a line anytime
Cause even the wind needs the trees in a field
To let it know it exists
And even the universe made a bald monkey
To let it know it exists
Ask me bout my day, ask me anything
Cause I know its all smoke and mirrors
…and not quite healthy
I know its all smoke and mirrors
But god it feels good to be seen
Yeah god it feels good to be seen
