ART OF DECEPTION (Lyrics)

© John Cologon 2019

I'm a master in the art of deception
Oh, so good at deceiving me
I mistake my own misconceptions
For my inner reality
And I don't even know that I can't see

Someday I'll die, I don't want to know it
I'm on the run from mortality
Yes, I'm alive but I don't want to show it
Too busy hiding in fantasy
And I don't even know what's driving me

I can hear the news on the radio
I'd like to change the world, but I'm dreaming you know
Well maybe I could start by changing me
If I'm going to grow
I'll need someone to show me reality
'Cause I'm a master in the art of deceiving me

I make mistakes but I won't admit it
I have to find someone else to blame
You make mistakes, but I won't permit it
I put you down, yeah, I call you names
And I don't even know that I'm the same

I can hear the news on the radio
I'd like to change the world, but I'm dreaming you know
Well maybe I could start by changing me
If I'm going to grow
I'll need someone to show me reality
'Cause I'm a master in the art of deceiving me

I'm a master in the art of deception
Oh, so good at deceiving me
I mistake my own misconceptions
For my inner reality
And I don't even know that I can't see
Yeah, I don't even know that I can't see
'Cause I'm a master in the art of deceiving me
