Lyrics:

an old wise man used to say to me don't play with smoke and mirrors

and i'd see something you weren't ready to see

or worse you might start to believe that you're actually here

she was 19 when she came to me

and offered her apple in exchange for my smile

i would soon fall into her world with my head over heels,

never again to stand on solid ground

they called her crazy, we called their bluff,

and we called each other shit we didn't know the meaning of

she was my dream girl, i was her drug

and we were two young, dumb, compulsive, loaded guns in love

people show you their past by how they walk when there's wind

they told you their history, about how close their bones are to their skin

she learned to be ashamed of the body she was in

from a big world that decided beauty's only in the eye of the thin

so it's binge and purge, stomach acid burns

she sings perfectly in tune, but no one understands her words

she said "build me a castle", so i went to work

and ignored the problem in the almighty name of her

i've been here before, happens every time

i stay so focused on the light i want to go blind

as time slipped by, didn't realize

she was disappearing into thin air right in front of my eyes

an old wise man used to say to me don't play with smoke and mirrors

i'm up to a pack and a half a day

i sleep by myself, cause there's no one else here
