Lyrics
Intro
Curtains draw, city spins
Hidden rooms, secret sins
Paper leaders paint the air
Truth or dream, does anyone care?
Verse 1
Smoke in the parlor, laughter on cue
Men in the mirror, but which one is you?
Rules keep changing, nothing is set
Playing their cards, a marionette
Chorus
Mirror world, double face
Lines are blurred, time and place
Hollow kings, built on sand
What’s the truth and what’s the plan?
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Verse 2
Voice from the screen, selling hope
Truth on the run, out of scope
Shadows whisper, futures fold
Promises buy and illusions sold
Pre-Chorus
Signs all around, meaning slips away
Searching for answers, lost in the play
Chorus
Mirror world, double face
Lines are blurred, time and place
Hollow kings, built on sand
What’s the truth and what’s the plan?
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Bridge
Cards on the table, faces unknown
Plastic applause, a kingdom of stone
Truth in the corner, wearing a mask
Who gives the orders, who dares to ask?
Chorus
Mirror world, double face
Lines are blurred, time and place
Hollow kings, built on sand
What’s the truth and what’s the plan?
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Outro
Curtains fall slow, plot rearranged
Hands lose their grip, nothing’s unchanged
Beneath the laughter, secrets remain
Smoke clears the stage, truth’s never plain
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
Shadows remain
Oh, oh, oh
La la la
