Gannet by Cavaliers Lyrics

[Verse 1]:
You think you're all smoke and mirrors
But all across your face the truth is pain
The look just gives me shivers
At the thought of going through the same again
I'm done with hope and hopeless
Finding things to occupy the brain
You might call it weakness
But I prefer to use the term restraint

[Chorus]:
And the mind is fried
Conscious deceiving and I'm barely breathing
My hands are tied
Fighting, misleading, we're numb from the feeling
I know you lied
I'm tossing and turning, my stomach is churning
At least we tried
But my heart is burning, these things that we're learning

[Verse 2]:
I know you're not calm 'n collected
Despite the way you seem to be outside
Our insults are deflected
I know there's so much damage that you hide
And I would feel sorry
But you tried your best to drag me round the bend
I know what you think of me
I guess I just stopped caring in the end
[Chorus]:
And the mind is fried
Conscious deceiving and I'm barely breathing
My hands are tied
Fighting, misleading, we're numb from the feeling
I know you lied
I'm tossing and turning, my stomach is churning
At least we tried
But my heart is burning, these things that we're learning

[Bridge]:
(Instrumental)

[Chorus]:
And the mind is fried
Conscious deceiving and I'm barely breathing
My hands are tied
Fighting, misleading, we're numb from the feeling
I know you lied
I'm tossing and turning, my stomach is churning
At least we tried
But my heart is burning, these things that we're learning
