Handguns - Smoke and Mirrors lyrics

"Smoke And Mirrors"
They say someday "things will change
And it will be perfectly okay"
But the only thing that has changed
Is that I can see through the haze

Watch my friends fade to gray
These stale routines drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
And it's killing me to believe
That you're truly happy
With the choices you've made
The substances may dull the pain
But they will never wash them away

Overworkd underpaid
These stale routines drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
Drain their lives away

The seconds pass like hours
And these hours pass like days
What do you know about being afraid?
I woke up this morning at the end of my rope
Covered in vomit from head to toe
I can't keep living this way
Something has to change

So tell me please
Were you searching for contentment?
You came home empty handed with
A feeling of resentment
Smoke and mirrors, it's just an illusion
The real world's a joke
And that's my conclusion
