Smoke and Mirrors Songtext
von Poets of the Fall

I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth
We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth

But there was no harmony there
No reason for coexistence
Nothing to span the distance, now

Do we even know who we are
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We′re like mirrors seen through smoke

I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace
Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways

But there was no loyalty to hope
And funny the need for mercy
How it makes us bleed all mercy, now


Do we even know who we are...
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We're like mirrors seen through smoke

Now the melody′s void of sympathycos that shit's in byte size bits on YouTube

So tell me what am I supposed to do

When the malady's no remedy Till we reach the lowest absolute

And necessity will finally force something through what′s walling you

Do we even know who we are...
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We′re like mirrors seen through smoke
