[Verse 1]
I received the invitation, out of thin air it appeared
But there was no time or place, no party, no premiere
And if there was a sender, discretion was their strongest suit
I made my preparations, as if one could prepare
For an evening's entertainment or a relative nightmare
But I shouldn't have been worried, the consequence was absolute
[Chorus]
There's no more "I"
To kiss you goodbye
And nothing to see here
So please don't try
To understand why
It's all smoke and mirrors
[Verse 2]
Here's the implication having come upon this space
I don't know where I am, even if I am someplace
I never really got here, I guess I never have to leave
In my imagination, I hear a steady hiss
The memories I lose, the futures that I miss
If there is a sadness at least there's nothing left to grieve
[Refrain]
'Cause nothing dies
Time is a lie
There's nothing to see here
The hue and cry
The light in the sky
It's all smoke and mirrors
I received the invitation, out of thin air it appeared
But there was no time or place, no party, no premiere
And if there was a sender, discretion was their strongest suit
I made my preparations, as if one could prepare
For an evening's entertainment or a relative nightmare
But I shouldn't have been worried, the consequence was absolute
[Chorus]
There's no more "I"
To kiss you goodbye
And nothing to see here
So please don't try
To understand why
It's all smoke and mirrors
[Verse 2]
Here's the implication having come upon this space
I don't know where I am, even if I am someplace
I never really got here, I guess I never have to leave
In my imagination, I hear a steady hiss
The memories I lose, the futures that I miss
If there is a sadness at least there's nothing left to grieve
[Refrain]
'Cause nothing dies
Time is a lie
There's nothing to see here
The hue and cry
The light in the sky
It's all smoke and mirrors
