Smoke and Mirrors

All smoke and mirrors down here where they speak with tied tongues.
These words burnt to ashes to bury all that has been done.
Illiterate animals reciting history lie.
Twisting our tongues til these words lose all meaning and die.
I spy with my little eye,
A doorway so strange.
Curious and curiouser.
A force to derange.
Dark draws me in.
Fear promts realisation - I’m locked in this body
And I can’t see the light anymore.
All smoke and mirrors down here where they speak with tied tongues.
These words burnt to ashes to bury all that has been done.
Illiterate animals reciting history lie.
Twisting our tongues til these words lose all meaning and die.
Trapped in here by the guards
With hollows for eyes.
Repulsion and attraction rip me
Into these halves.
Dark draws me in.
Fear promts realisation - I’m locked in this body
And I can’t see the light anymore.
All smoke and mirrors down here where they speak with tied tongues.
These words burnt to ashes to bury all that has been done.
Illiterate animals reciting history lie.
Twisting our tongues til these words lose all meaning and die.
