Verse 1)
Step right up, velvet curtain breathin’ slow
Cards in my sleeve, but that ain’t the show
Candles flicker, shadows start to bend
You came for a trick, but you won’t comprehend
Pocket watch swingin’, tickin’ like fate
Every second closer, don’t hesitate
Hear my voice cut through the crowd so loud
Funny how silence can swallow a crowd
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t blink now, you’re fallin’ in deep
Every word I say, you’re bound to keep
Your thoughts driftin’ somewhere I choose
A gentle push and you start to lose
(Chorus)
Eyes like pendulums, side to side
You’re driftin’ away, nowhere to hide
Say what I whisper, do what I say
A mind in my hands, driftin’ away
Snap of my fingers, you’re under the spell
Heaven feels close but it tastes like hell
Stage lights glow but the truth gets thin—
The trick ain’t the magic… it’s pullin’ you in
(Verse 2)
Audience laughin’, but they don’t know
How deep your mind started to go
Smile on your face, but it don’t feel real
You’re movin’ like strings I silently pull
I say “sleep,” and your knees go weak
Your secrets louder when you can’t speak
Every command just melts your will
A quiet storm, but it’s deadly still
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t wake up, you’re too far gone
The night feels short, but the trance lives long
Your name fades out in the dark of your head
You follow the echoes of what I said
(Chorus)
Eyes like pendulums, side to side
You’re driftin’ away, nowhere to hide
Say what I whisper, do what I say
A mind in my hands, driftin’ away
Snap of my fingers, you’re under the spell
Heaven feels close but it tastes like hell
Stage lights glow but the truth gets thin—
The trick ain’t the magic… it’s pullin’ you in
(Bridge)
Is it a game, or somethin’ more?
When the curtain falls, who keeps the score?
You wake up laughin’, say it’s pretend
But part of you never came back again
(Outro)
Step right up… next soul in line
Another illusion, another design
The crowd applauds, they don’t understand—
The greatest trick… is command of a man
