Black Veil Brides - Smoke And Mirrors Lyrics
Quiet as I watch you falling
You become the prey again
I can see your skin is crawling
Lipstick cases and sins
You're drowning
Same old song and dance
Wake up Wake up Wake up
My Darling
Never stood a chance
Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
I hear it in her voice, she's stalling
"You were just another man"
Your claims of love are falling
Now it's clear you can't win
Heart's pounding
Praying for romance
Wake up wake up wake up
It's sounding
Time to try again
Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
It's all just smoke and mirrors
I'd rather be alone
Than put you on a throne
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors
Black painted eyes
Cover the lies
It's time you threw away your cruel disguise
Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
I'd rather be alone
Than put you on a throne
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors

Black Veil Brides Smoke And Mirrors Comments
Solo❤
Don't wanna be one of those people But their old music really is the fucking best. I remember this shit in middle school and I'm drunk on nostalgia.
I use to be a fan of them but i can still appreciate this
First line "pray" should be "prey" if you listen to the context it's used in.
I CANT STOP RESTART THE VIDEO
Throw back
I went to their concert in 2014 and it was one of the best experience I had in my lifetime. Ben for life!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Still waiting for this on Spotify :(
just came across this video and it reminded me of when this song and the album first came out, this has always been one of my favourite songs ever!
How does a band with so much potential end up so shitty
Literally need this on spotify
BVB armyyyyyyy
This band literally got me into all the bands I’m into right now and they’ve helped me through some shit and I wish I could meet them so bad but the Resurrection Tour isn’t coming to Ohio ;-;
Still listening in 2017. Who else?
it keeps me com my homework
I can't wait to play all my favorite songs from them and all the other bands like them that have helped me through high school and will help me for the rest of my life. Rock, and metal, alternative genres are all so much deeper than people realize. I can't wait to culture my kids in fantastic music like this.❤
how do u get this song i have the album but didnt get this one
Magenta Heisler it's a bonus track
what radio station number are they on
Tayler Doolen i've heard them on octane
WHY HAVENT I HEARD THIS ? IM SO PISSED
Pixi3__Juic3 same I didn't find this until yesterday
it's only a very VERY small possibility right now but I might get the chance to meet them in like a few months... or at least one of them (most likely CC I would think). and I've been screeching because of it all day brb gonna go screech a little bit more (emo screams in the distance)
G'luck dude :3 I hope you do ^-^
@Harsh Raythattha Thank you :))
did you?
You get to see em?
I wish I could go to one of their concerts one day. but it won't happen, but its okay youtube gives me the chance to hear the music and so does the radio^^ I hope they make more awesome music just like the one called "perfect weapon".
omf what radio station do you listen to because I never hear bvb on the radio...
+Brendon Urine They were on MyRock once and I literally SCREAMED along while my mum was sitting next to me like "wtf u doin child"
Christina Nanan Which radio station? Please tell me.
Pancake Lord lmao which song did they play?

Buy the separate song.
Why isn't this on spotify?!
+Fran F. indeed, this is probably my favorite black veil brides song ;-;
Fran F. Omg yes
It is on there now because I've been in the car driving and it played
Fran F. Not on Apple music aswell :(
Nuuuuu!
This is my all time favorite song and I don't see why people don't know about this song as much as they should. It's an amazing song and it should get some recognition!
I agree.
is it just me or does the start sound the prodigy?
I have a queen size bed so enough room for me and andy :)
put on a throne or put outgrow
put on a throne
did he write this about himself?
+darkcloud kitten sure
@Jesus of suburbia love the reference
Love the beginning
How do you get this track? I bought the full album but nothing...
+Sofia K lol
+Sofia K buy the individual song through like itunes
@goforth115 ok. Thanks!
+Sofia K Did you get the ultimate edition of the album? If not it's not on there.
This song is what got me listening to BVB.
+cheever indahouse for me it was in the end
Mine was Fallen Angels lol
Set The World On Fire was mine
why have i not heard this song before? i guess i didn't get stwof in time to have this track.
Bas genre
only thing i don't like about bvb: it's keeping me from my homework, but that's also a good thing..
@leoncrazyman07 good music taste :P
@nienke huijbens OMG I SHIP YO GUYS SU MUCH!!! YO SU CUTE AWHMERGARD
+Iry Eau (it's that girl again) the fact that you in this other guy were like hitting it off in this comment section haha funny
SAME!!!! Amen dude!
same.."im gonna do my homework right now mom''
me: ''only listening to music. obviously BVB!''
How do i get the track :O
This brings back some memories. I remember when this shit first leaked. I was so excited, I listened to the entire album on repeat for a week straight. I can still honestly say this is the best album of all time.
Jared Crowell this leaked? 😂😂
The whole album?
best album of all time ? dude no disrespect and i know opinions and such but get your musical taste checked.
Guys my band would love to cover BVB when we get everything together look us up on facebook please-ADALYSSA thanks c:
I only recently started listening to their music but I've been listening to the genre... I hope you shall accept me into the BVB army. Good day, my friends :3
Same and im not some emo kid either i hate how its like wtf only they listen to it when they would probably like it
@Sebby Siena yea they arnt even classed as emo they are rock/rock n roll and they are amazing @ElizabethLynch you will be accepted bvb army is always happy to have new members
you're* ;)
Also thanks for the upload :P
this is true for the longest time of my life I m been like this
@Mannequin Joy
Why do I feel like I've heard an intro like that before? Who gives a fuck! Black Veil Brides ROCKS!!!! Andy is my role model, I want to be like him someday, except I'll be the girl version, not as epic but... BVB forever!!!
The intro was stolen from Breaking Benjamin.
totally awesome song
this sounds like something my mom would listen to. just this one particular song.
My dad would totally listen to this and he hates bvb :0
@Katia Randall XD My dad has a love-hate thing with their music and them.
When I'm eighty-something, I will be proud to say that this was the music of my time.
Smoke and mirrors found on set the w o r l d on fire.
Now that you're four years older... do you feel the same?
(I do.)
I thought that said I'm eighty
Sorry to intrude on the BVB army but I'm starting to get into the band and I love te genre already. I was hoping I could be accepted? If not, then fuck you I'm coming in anyways.
Come join us. You have been warned. This fandom is filled with drama
Elisheva Haley welcome
how edgy
Elisheva Haley whoever says you can’t come in is an ass pickle. Of fucking course you can come in!!!
All yeemo’s are welcome!
The fact this is only a bonus track amazes me. It should be a legitimate part of the album.
no cause if a bond track is this awesome imagine how fantastic the album is
@Aura B - What I'm getting out of it is one person is describing another as having lots of confidence and control and a dominate, powerful nature. But when they think about it, that person isn't really all that powerful or charming after all; they become prey to themselves and their own self-worthlessness. The confidence is all a facade...all "smoke and mirrors" if you will.
I just listened to all of your videos for Set the World on Fire! You done did good x) stand strong, fellow Fallen Angel/Wild One/bvb soldier!!! I couldn't choose which one to say haha. Anyways, take care~
My dear simpletons. This song is just epical. Give it a decade and they'll become legends of "Clasic Rock"
Getcho extra dumbass outta here lmao
Tom the Cat just wait you idiot
this song is about life
this song is so cool, idk how else to describe it :p
@mintychip :)
@Ryan Bone This band is the shit!! no joke!
IK it is the mega shit
@Cara Lane
you don't like nuance
XD It's so awesome you have no words to describe it?
I like that idea.
aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwssssssssssssooooooooooommmmmmmmmmeeeeee
Hello everyone :3
it doesnt matter how much i listen or love this song, i cant seem to understand the message of the song. can anyone tell me?
Looks like he got cheated on
falyn likes you Cheyenne doesn't though ps im falyn
HungerGamesTribute1 that is not weird because me and my sister bite each others heads off and i will listen to bvb and like it more than i like her
@mintychip jinxx is awesome. i love how he did the triangles around his eyes
ya, inspiration from KISS
@mintychip I love CC and Andy... their so pretty and funny... is it weird to call them pretty!?!
@Cara Lane not really, i mean, ashley does look like a girl sometimes ;p
@Cara Lane no. i think they understand. plus andy is kinda a jerk. i know this guy who works fora radio station and he interviewed them. andy said that it wasnt about the fans or the music but about the image. and that the music was second and that the image kept them famous. i hope they go to warped tour next you. sixty buck just to tell andy hes a jerk. sounds good to me
whoo! New fan of BVB!
NOPE I'M THE NEWEST I JOINED YESTERDAY
Well now you've been here for a year!
Angel Leggett now 3 years!
Good lord it's been 3 years since I've commented on this, and 6 (I'll ignore the irony in that) since I started listening to BVB 🤘🤘🤘 Rock on
Angel Leggett 4 years!
welcome *hugs you*
Well, I didn't. In an interview they did when Andy said: "I think the world needs more Black Veil Brides." He also said: "Hell yeah! Accepted with open arms and open legs. We'll go balls deep for our fans and music." And the interviewer said: "I bet all your female fans are like 'YEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!'"
Yes we very much are ^_^
I found BVB a few weeks ago and am now just in love with their songs :) Shame they aren't popular over here in England :/
Everyone's welcome <3 x
Welcome to the family!!! <3
The BVB Army will always welcome new members of the family! :)
i love bvb... this song ^_^
why wouldn't you be accepted? ofcourse you are, they accept anybody lol :)
Man, this is certainly one of the best songs they've made. It's simply awesome.
I AGREE AND I FEEL SORRY FOR THE IN BETWEENS THAT BOTH LIKE JD/1D AND BVB
ITS BETTER IF WERE ALL EQUAL
of course you are im glad we have another person to the family :3
If I could make all haters here me say something it would be this:
You're not going to change anyone's mind hating like that, so what's the point?
Everyone one is excepted in the BVB army+ family.
It doesn't matter what race or gender you might be, it's what's on the inside that counts. If you support and love BVB, we can all love it together!
Best band on the planet
Okay, i will admit, i am not a part of the BVB army. but i still count myself as a Fallen Angel, and for me, this is the second greatest band I've heard! Unfortunately, i like My Chemical Romance better.... Okay... I love them, and I'm obsessed. So I'm an MCRmy soldier, but I remain loving Black Veil brides.
Welcome to the family :)
BVB ARMY forever fuck haters they aint nothin bu bitches wo aint got no life and jus likes to fuck with ppl
not my decision girl
Your part of the BVB Family and BVB Army now. You are very welcome here. :)
hahahaha yeah.. i am.. we are rare situatios xD
I have all three of their albums and I have just now discovered this song, and I love it it's really awesome!
haha welcome to the family stella we're always here for you :) *hug*
army strong stella just don't let those haters give shit to the band you see it tell em off
BVB WILD ONE 4EVER
well yeah, over a million strong, I'm sure we can always fit a few more in. After all you're speaking to a Veteran XD
the opening is a different style than what they usually do. And so is the rest of the song, and I love all their songs and after finally buying the album I realize this song exists and it's bad ass
wait,you're a directioner that fell in love with BVB....omg just like me!!!!
Kinda wierd that you'd say that to a family member of yours...
-cough cough- Youtube to MP3 -cough-
I don't want to buy the whole album.......that's why.
Of Course you are accepted, and were not just a Army are a family,and are always there for each other through everything. Supporting our hero's Always ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Accepted with open arms and legs :P Thanks for joining.
