lyrics

Did anyone ask about me all the years that I was sleeping
There was a beginning, an end, and I don’t know what happened in between
Then a knock on the door and a note on the floor and still I don’t know the meaning
But it rolled me over, left me sober, and wide awake
Time mustn’t be linear because I feel no sense of direction
The fact that I’m ruled by my feelings, you liken it to an infection
You don’t miss a beat, an unbelievable feat that I manage to escape detection
It’s so hard to get away from you under the light of day
Now people are rushing to houses of glory
They’re answering prayers now, story by story
They’re coming out of the woods
They’re coming out of the woods
Reason is noble, that’s using your head
But it’ll drive you to an early subterranean bed
And you’ll be out of the woods that day
With smoke and mirrors
There was an old chimney of stone, it stood bare in the snow and was freezing
The old house had burned down, it was some kind of domestic treason
I don’t believe anymore but I’m accountable for eating fruit that is not in season
And I’m so grateful for those little things that get me through the day
Like smoke and mirrors
