I have seen your world
through distorted eyes
you and your techno-color god
and all his pathetic lies
how you can you tell me your normal life
is the way to be?
you're killing your children off
in the name of the free

Chorus:
I have seen the light
you've shined on me
(it's all smoke and mirrors)
all I can say is
it's not a part of me
(it's all smoke and mirrors)
I don't want to be a part of
your glass menagerie
I'm tired of having to bleed
out your reasons
to feed me smoke and mirrors

Can't count the times I've seen
You burn your own kind down
Accursed ark of humanity
Depravity unbound
your false sense of the righteous way
Can't mask your greed
no asylum for the damned
in the end you will see

Chorus:
I have seen the light
you've shined on me
(it's all smoke and mirrors)
all I can say is
it's not a part of me
(it's all smoke and mirrors)
I don't want to be a part
of your glass menagerie
I'm tired of having to bleed
out your reasons
to feed me smoke and mirrors

I have seen the light
you've shined on me
(it's all smoke and mirrors)
all I can say is
it's not a part of me
(it's all smoke and mirrors)
I don't want to be a part
of your glass managerie
I'm tired of having to bleed
out your reasons
to feed me smoke and mirrors

Outro chorus:
I have seen the light you've shined on me
It holds no truth, it's not a part of me
