Smoke and Mirrors
JID

Verse 1:

Lost in a cloud, the haze surrounds me
Blowin' smoke, I hope nobody downs me
Silent echoes, my thoughts are swimmin'
In a sea of green, I catch my fingers tremblin'

Clutchin' dreams, but they keep on slippin'
Mirror's reflection, my face ain't missin'
Battlin' shadows, my mind is trippin'
In this haze, my truth is twistin'

Chorus:

Smoke and mirrors, I keep on chasin' highs
Reachin' for the stars, but sinkin' in the lies
Feel the weight of the world on weary eyes
Smoke and mirrors, draggin' down my life

Verse 2:

Late nights, long fights with reality
Lookin' for some peace in this burned-out galaxy
Ashes of ambition, dreams laid to rest
Green temptation put my soul to the test

Every puff a promise that'll soon fade away
In the fog, I'm losin' more of me each day
Scrapin' for a feeling, but the pain stays
Chains of addiction, it's a thin line played

Chorus:

Smoke and mirrors, I keep on chasin' highs
Reachin' for the stars, but sinkin' in the lies
Feel the weight of the world on weary eyes
Smoke and mirrors, draggin' down my life

Bridge:

Ghosts in the vapor, they whisper my name
Haunted by the choices that feed this flame
Heart's beatin' heavy like a moment of shame
Through kaleidoscope illusions, I'm losin' this game

Oh, the echoes, they never let me be
Caught in this web, where can I be free?
Tryna find salvation, but these chains bury me
In a world made of smoke, there's no clarity

Chorus:

Smoke and mirrors, I keep on chasin' highs
Reachin' for the stars, but sinkin' in the lies
Feel the weight of the world on weary eyes
Smoke and mirrors, draggin' down my life

Outro:

Fadin' out, shadows claim the light
In the rearview, the broken wings take flight
Will I find my way or continue the fight?
In this world of smoke and mirrors, lost in the night
