Topic: Smoke and Mirrors

Chorus:

All my phobias and fears

Are no more than smoke and mirrors

Its all just one big illusion inside my brain


Verse one:

Whenever people see me

Id like to be Houdini

And escape from these chains

That bind me down


Verse two

Sometimes when people see me

I wish I were Houdini

And disappear from here

And never reappear


Bridge

These chains, this pain

Its all inside my brain

This fear, these tears

It's all just smoke and mirrors

Re: Smoke and Mirrors

hello knox87 - very nice lyric! What sort of chords are you planning to use? Seems like a minor key would suit the mood of the words.

for the chorus it's D7sus4 Dm Am C Em


for the verse i think i had Am C Em Am


& the bridge is the same as the verses just a stronger strumming pattern..


it starts off very slow and mellow and builds up to the bridge and last chorus where ya really drive it home.. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
