Puscifer

Smoke and Mirrors

You confessed one day to have been a snake and deceiver

But when your moment came, to shed that skin

You just slithered away

Crystal clear to us all, when you say “We all want the same thing”

That you don’t, you want the bigger piece and the praise

There are those who have seen, and those soon to beware

What your smoke is concealing

Just a trail of bones, atop a lemming’s hill

All fallen prey

To the liar, not a saint, not a martyr

Just a snake, and a liar

We used to believe, when you'd say “Were all in this together”

No more, we all see

Now the mirror is broken, we all know what your spell was concealing

Just hollow eyes, a stolen crown but

Not a king

No, not a king

Just the liar, not a saint, not a martyr

Just a snake, and a liar
