about

I wish that I could read your mind
Cause I’m so tired of what’s in mine
It’s the same old story
And it’s getting boring

I’m stuck inside this box you’ve made
Waiting to be cut in half with your blade
The crowd’s ecstatic
So why are you panicked?

You’re a charlatan with everything to lose
Your world comes crashing down with a single wrong move
Open your third eye and look at what you've done
Cut your heart out in front of everyone

The whole world thinks you’re so sublime
Bending spoons with your beautiful mind
But a black cat told me
About your gross skulduggery

You’re a charlatan with everything to lose
Your world comes crashing down with a single wrong move
Open your third eye and look at what you've done
Cut your heart out in front of everyone

And karma’s a bitch, and she’s coming for you
Grab all your lucky charms and say a prayer or two
Your smoke and mirrors won't save you tonight
Too bad you can't disappear and be all right

You’re a charlatan with everything to lose
Your world comes crashing down with a single wrong move
Open your third eye and look at what you've done
Cut your heart out in front of everyone
