The Escape Artist Songtext / Lyric

I don't know why,

I can't explain.

An artist of,

The great escape.

I don't know why

I levitate,

Above the rest of the cabaret.



I don't know why,

I can't explain.

You're on the trail of a renegade.

The work of an, illusionist.

I never thought I'd get away with this.



A trapdoor that opens in the real world,

And lets in,

The arcane.

A trapdoor that opens underneath you,

Each time,

You lie.






I didn't think I'd get away with this.

I didn't think of an escape.

I didn't think I'd get away with this.

I didn't think of an escape.



I don't know why, I can't explain.

Lock me up and throw the key away.

Sleight of hand;

Parlour tricks.

A drinking game with the alchemist.



I don't know why

I can't explain.

I'm vanishing, without a trace.

And falling for,

This fantasy.

You'd fall in love with a murder scene.



A trapdoor that opens in the real world,

And lets in,

The arcane.

A trapdoor that opens underneath you,

Each time,

You lie.



I didn't think I'd get away with this.

I didn't think of an escape.

I didn't think I'd get away with this.

I didn't think of an escape.



If this is the real world,

Then i become an illusion.

If this is the real world,

Then i become an illusion.



I become an illusion

I become your illusion



A trapdoor that opens underneath you,

Each time,

You lie.



Chorus



I become an illusion.

(a trapdoor that opens in the real world) I become an illusion.

(a trapdoor that opens in the real world) I become an illusion.
