With just the right subtle jump out of body I descend It's not the pain that crushes my chest, it's not the rain making my face wet, only the mental sleight of hand Bear rejection Bare deception Pry the cork from wine to try time from bottle Bare the right bane Bear the wrong boon Mention this slip to only one calamitous

You Leave Me Lonely: "Hard Stops"
Sleight of hand creates illusion politicians the rich in collusion. Good slaves we buy their Solutions titrated diluted pollution. They've got you wrangled with the carrots they dangle. I see black holes You See Stars Spangled. "Disseminate fear keep them numb and Confused they'll reward our egregious abuse" but fools won't believe when it's dark they see day so now I tell you what's the use anyway? They've got you wrangled with the carrots they dangle... You see white stripes..... I see liberty.....raped and strangled Keep it obscure, then hand you a cure,   their best phishing lure To make you believe that this country's great they use a little bitty hook and a tiny bit of bait They've got you dangling with the carrots they're wrangling. I see black holes you see stars spangling They've got you wrangled with the bait they dangle... you  see white stripes, I see liberty ***** and strangled They got you dangling with the **** they're wrangling.... Open your eyes you'll see there angling.

Sleight of Hand
His left hand flourishes                                                                 But The audience watches intensely                                                             There The motions dazzle                                                                     Is Everyone paying attention                                                    Something Unexpected                                                                Else The illusion is shattered                                                  Transpiring The magician takes a bow.
