Intro

I can here the announcer yelling, He says

STEP RIGHT UP, THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!
WHERE ONLY, OUR ILLUSIONS ARE ALLOWED IN
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TAKE YOUR SEATS
YOU'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS SOME REAL TREATS
DON'T BE FOOLED BY ANY OTHER, SLEUTH
FOR ONLY I WILL REVEAL THE REAL TRUTH

Verse 1

Round and round the spinning starts
You weave your craft like magical arts
You seem to be good at what you do
But the cracks have started to shine through
We've learned what we need to know
Seen behind the velvet of your glowing show

Verse 2

Not going to play the part of a clown
A puppet on a string wearing your frown
Someone you make dance and grin
Like trophies on a shelf you win
We're not smoke that drifts above your fire
Or the act walking along your tight-rope wire

You think you’re a Mastermind
Leaving ghosts and wreckage behind
But the game is changing, the air is getting cold
You’re losing the grip on the secrets you hold

Chorus

We're the silence when the music fades away
The clouds that chill your bright and sunny day
You can’t strike something that's hollow
And you can't shine light on a shadow

Verse 3

The audience has left, the seats all bare
You’re talking to ghosts in the empty air
You check the locks and you pace the hall
But there’s no reflections against the wall
There's no foot-prints, there is no sound
Just the heavy truth waiting to be found

Chorus

We're the silence when the music fades away
The cloud that chills your bright and sunny day
You can’t strike something that's hollow
And you can't shine light on a shadow

Outro

No, you can't shine a light on a shadow
If you try there's nothing there to follow
We're the silence when the music stops
We'll be watching when the truth finally drops
