about

Braving the dunes of Stockton in the pouring rain, an epic pirate battle arises...
Written by Emily Hatton, 'Smoke and Mirrors' reinforces that while facades of insincerity fade, the real value and worth of every person has nothing to do with the money to their name.

lyrics

You gave me scars, I wear them well
You took my pay, put me through hell, but,
We’ll catch you, red-handed, soon, I can tell (uh)

I served my time, made it through, but,
I’ve done no crime, that’s all been you
You dropped my name in the dirt, and dragged it though

I’m never getting back what you stole
My treasure ain’t all silver and gold
I’ve walked that plank, paid my dues,
You’ve taken everything I had to lose
Long John Silver
You’re all smoke and mirrors

For a pretty penny, you sold your soul
They all warned me, “fire in the hole!”
Soon enough, you’ll be dragged over the coals

I’m never getting back what you stole
My treasure ain’t all silver and gold
I’ve walked that plank, paid my dues,
You’ve taken everything I had to lose
Long John Silver

For a nickel and a dime, you’re robbing cowgirls blind,
It’s a matter of time, until
We blow that smoke, smash that glass, bare your lies, at last
Soon you’ll be, nothin’ but a pain in the past

I’m never getting back what you stole
My treasure ain’t all silver and gold
I’ve walked that plank, paid my dues,
Now I got nothin’ left to lose
I see right through
Your smoke and mirrors
I see right through
Your smoke and mirrors
