Smoke and Mirrors

[Verse]
He said life’s a game
But the rules ain’t clear
I’m stuck in traffic
But the end ain’t near
Bills stack high
Dreams fall low
Got a lighter in my pocket and a place to go
[Prechorus]
The sky’s on fire
But the couch is cool
I’m chasing peace
Breaking every rule
[Chorus]
Roll it up
Light it up
Let it go
Life’s too short for the status quo
I’m just a man with a dream in hand
And a cloud that’s got me laughing like I don’t understand
[Verse 2]
They say work hard
But I’m working hard to chill
Climbing up the mountain
Just to stand still
The boss is calling
But I hit decline
Got a date with Mary
She’s the mellow kind
[Prechorus]
The world’s gone crazy
But I’m staying sane
Find my heaven in a paper plane
[Chorus]
Roll it up
Light it up
Let it go
Life’s too wild for the same old show
I’m just a man with a spark in hand
And a haze that’s got me dancing like I’m part of a band
