lyrics

When you open your eyes
And look back through the years
It's suddenly clear from the things that appear...
Smoke and mirrors

Been quite a while since I've managed to smile when I'm here,
I remember a time when it wasn't a crime to be near,
You've taken all that I had left in me,
and forced me to crawl through a maze,
You spun me around and then swallowed the key,
Insisting that I am to blame...

When you open your eyes
And look back through the years
It's suddenly clear from the things that appear...
Smoke and mirrors

How can you see what has happened to me when you're blind?
Well I've been searching for days but I'm lost in a haze in my mind...
You tried making a fool out of me and left me to die in the night,
I'm bound to this fear but I finally see the memories that fade in the light...

When you open your eyes
And look back through the years
It's suddenly clear from the things that appear...
Smoke and mirrors
