Smoke and Mirrors

With you I stare into the blaze. Nether world, hell on earth, chosen ways
Calling, beckoning, I reach for you. Lost grip, inside, failing you
Suffer, torment, helpless, in pain. Anguish, watching, hopeless, in vain

How does it feel to dance with the devil? He and I are one and the same
Surely God has abandoned you, you might as well play the game
How does it feel to ride the tiger, you see his stripes you know its clean
Agony and ecstasy, snowblind, killing yourself to live

Look back with hate, load the gun, glass bowl burning, damage done
Mourning, broken, lost hope. Facing fate as you tie the rope
Suffer, torment, helpless, in pain. Anguish, watching, hopeless, in vain

How does it feel to dance with the devil? He and I are one and the same
Surely God has abandoned you, you might as well play the game
How does it feel to ride the tiger, you see his stripes you know its clean
Agony and ecstasy, snowblind, killing yourself to live

Smoke and mirrors all they are. Illusion, delusion, mind afar
Rejected, deserted alone you stand. Always with you, take my hand
