Can’t find the rabbit
Is there a hole in this hat?
Can we put back together
What’s been sawed in half?
Have we changed content into contempt?
I’m afraid
We’ve put ourselves in a box
That’s gonna be tough to escape
We cease to be if we choose to believe the illusion
Don't want to turn this love into a flawed magic act
Where I make you vanish
And I can’t find the words to bring you back
No misdirection
No sleight of hand
Don’t force the cards for once
Leave it to chance
Stuck in a trap door
Hanging by our feet
While chained underwater
With nothing up our sleeves
We cease to be if we choose to believe the illusion
Don't want to turn this love into a flawed magic act
Where I make you vanish
And I can’t find the words to bring you back
Why do we feel the need to use the smoke and mirrors
We both know behind the curtain
The truth’s been hiding
And it’s time to make it reappear
We cease to be if we choose to believe the illusion
Don't want to turn this love into a flawed magic act
Where I make you vanish
And I can’t find the words to bring you back
