The Escape Artist

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] A trapdoor that opens in the real world And lets in the arcane A trapdoor that opens underneath you Each time you lie [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] A trapdoor that opens in the real world And lets in the arcane A trapdoor that opens underneath you Each time you lie [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] If this is the real world Then I become an illusion If this is the real world Then I become an illusion [Instrumental] [Bridge] I become an illusion I become your illusion [Pre-Chorus] A trapdoor that opens underneath you Each time you lie [Chorus 3] 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 [Outro] 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
