MASTERMIND
"Every circus has a ringmaster, but even the clowns eventually see the wires behind the show. 'Mastermind' is an exit song for anyone who realized they were being used as a pawn and decided to flip the board."
Mastermind Lyrics By: Gabi Myst
[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.
[Pre-Chorus]
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.
